I know Silaprene is supposed to be a good sealant, but how good is it as an adhesive?
I'd like to stick one of these on my roof and I've got a brand new tube of Silaprene. Will it hold up to years of road vibration, snow/ice, and the occasional tree branch?
I realize others like Sikaflex can do the job, but I'd prefer to do it all with what I already have (assuming it works).
FYI I'll probably use lots of butyl tape and sealant around the hole in the roof, but the product above is mainly to keep the wires flat and low (for a solar installation). I've decided I don't want the wires coming straight up through the roof through a cable gland - I'd have to give them a sharp bend which I'm not comfortable about.
Thank you.
Edited to say: OK, forget the part about the tree branch - that's my problem, not the adhesive's...
As a comparison to Sikaflex, I assume I'd use something in the 221 or 252 (?) range. I don't know that I want anything completely bombproof up there. And I also prefer not to deal with primer, etc.
