The silicone is tearing away from my domes. Unfortunately, this is resulting in them leaking at night....and I'm not getting adequate treatment. I'm very upset...as I 've been doing this for 6 weeks, and now have lost 4 nights of treatment. AGGHHH!!!
Is there any way to repair these? I was thinking of just tearing the silicone off all the way on both of the domes...and putting some sort of rubber cement all around them? Any ideas that anyone knows of?
I hate to throw more money into this process....
Is it called Silicone in a tube? Do you get it at a home depot store, or something like that? Did he rip off all the silicone on both domes to start from scratch...or did he just squirt it in the ripped part? Thanks :)
No it is not called silicone in a tube ;) English is not my native language so I have no idea what the container is called. I found a photo that looks similar to the thing he used. http://www.dalchem.com.au/images/stories/SiliconeSealants/silicone-sealant.jpg. He bought it at a hardware store and only put at the part that ripped. Good luck :)
OK...I bought some. I told the guy I needed silicone in a tube. He asked me what for...I said, "it's complicated". Anyway, I think he got me the right stuff. Now I'm going to get to work. Fingers crossed!! Thanks dear :)
I had this problem with my first set of domes on the left dome. My husband bought a tube of silicone caulking from Home Depot and squirted it into the ripped silicone. I think we let it dry for about 8 hours. The domes worked just fine and held up just fine. I will try to find my old thread where I talked about this solution!
Update - here is the thread. It is exterior/interior silicone caulk from Home Depot.
