{Failed} sealant to seal the gap between the glass roof and the wall without backer rod

In this video, I will be showing you how to seal the gap between your glass roof and wall that failed within three months. We found that the sealant was shrinking, causing the waterproofing paint to tear off after two months. Rainwater seeped through the tears in the paint, causing a leakage. A solution was deduced based on constructive comments given by viewers. Thank you for helping out!

Update:

We're back with an update on the rainwater leakage problem. We have been testing the solution we came up with and have found that it's working great! We'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Thank you for all of your help in helping us solve this problem!

This must’ve been the guy who built my new construction home last year. Grout cracking everywhere, AC broke twice ($1500), doors don’t fit/close, toilets and tubs leaking… all the goodies

Skilled labor isn't cheap and cheap labor isn't skilled.

Sad thing is this is probably a new house being slapped together and some body is gonna get stuck with a mess

Good to see someone who takes pride in their work😂

I use to supervise mexican roofing crews. If it's one thing I learned is when they say "no Mr. Joe, not necessary." It's necessary.

I would kick him off roof if he did that on my house

If someone is at your house doing this much glass work and they don't have a electric caulking gun tell them to leave

[anthonyfesta]

The glass should be captured in some type of framing then structurally caulked with a structural caulking like Dow Corning 795 or 799 that’s compatible with the PVB inner layer

This is good! Some haters think this is garbage, but they are wrong. This not silicone. This is an elastometric compound that works best when maximumly worked into contact on the substrate is achieved, here this process is demonstrated against a textured surface and guarantees to have no air pockets. This is part 1, in part 2 after dry, the glass is cleaned up with a blade. The only flaw is he is not wearing a proper glove and generally use of a backer rod in the gap produces less waste and better fill up.

I remember starting out in the mid 90s on a commercial construction crew. There was one superintendent who would get all worked up about hiring caulkers. He'd say- Caulking isn't a trade! It is now for sure

[torturedfetus]

That's gonna suck to clean up after it fails. 😂
