Jim Weston some caulk we use in the boating area, and he has given a thumbs
up on its use in Airstreams. It is called "Boatlife Caulk" and "Boatlife Liquid Caulk".

Thank you Doug, for the find. This Caulk reminds me of a, 'skin sealant' that I have seen at Boeing. 2 weeks ago, Gregg and I spread a fine line of the, "Boatlife LIQUID Caulk" - down one piece of aluminum and clamped another one over the top with 3 C-clamps, left it to dry 24 hours. Took my
power washer, set it at 2000psi - Fine Stream - at approx., 6 inches away - and BLASTED IT for approx. 5 minutes. Results - could NOT pry apart. No cracks, no leaks - AWESOME STUFF!

Think about it, this stuff is used in the Marine industry, salt water - knots speeds of boats and SURVIVES! I will put this stuff up against Vulkem ANY DAY - and it will blow Vulkem away!

I see it posted that Airstream Dealers are doing complete re-caulk jobs for $125.00. I will do you one for $250.00 with the GOOD STUFF! Pending that you do NOT have Silicone RV Sealer on it. Pure misery to get off!
