Grrrr....New MaxxFan Deluxe Install SNAFU

So yesterday I finished up my upgrade of my main living area vent to a MaxxFan Deluxe.

I spent too much time making sure I put down a perfect layer of Dicor self leveling lap sealant and it flowed out beautifully and looked similar to the factory job.

Finished up around 3pm. and the temp was about 65°F when I finished. Overnight the temp got down to around 45°F. Today around noon we got some pretty good rain.

I went up top to check out the sealant and found a huge mess! The sealant has become all lumpy and when I press the lumps, water comes out of the swells.

So now I have to scrape all of this off and try again.

Any advice other than to protect it from rain for much longer than the advertised 4hr to waterproof claims of the product?

If you are in Newport Oregon, it will be hard to get out of the rain for a while

You could build a small tarp tent over it or park it under cover while doing the repair.
