Usual recommendation is either:
Sikaflex 512, or Soudall Fixall.
Plenty of posts on here about how to use.

Brian, I've used both 512 and EBT and just find the EBT seems to have a longer curing time, it will be fine for the rooflight reseal.
Incidentally, are you planning to just reseal around the edges or go for the whole hog? Personally, I'd advise removal of the existing rooflight completely, fully clean all old mastic etc then seal and refit.

Good advice from G7ACU.
I'm sure I have read somewhere that the trade uses Soudall Fixall.
Screwfix sell it. No connection.

Hi,
Thanks for reply , was going to remove all the mastic I can see without removing the window and then repoint to where existing went , going to remove with turps , clean up and key ,don’t think I’ll have time or confidence to remove window as the onl fine day this week in morley is Wednesday and I’ll have to go to work for a couple of hours🙄
going to remove with turps
Think the advice is to clean up with meths to degrease.
Please excuse me if that is your intention.

Well done Brian, pleased you're sorted but do please keep an eye on it. The resealing to the edge (pointing) will be OK for a while I'm sure, but long term, full removal is a better option. It's not as scary as you might think at all, plenty of tutorials on YouTube (I used to have a brilliant link to repairs but site seems to have closed down).
Good luck.
