Re: [VAC] old 1959
Michael,
I haven't heard you say, "No sale" yet, so I'll
stay with the thread and offer encouragement.
After you get the Vulkem and begin to caulk
seams (hopefully getting rid of leaks),
it helps to use a nut pick (from a nut cracker
set) to clean out the old caulk before applying
new caulk.
You'll start on the roof so go ahead and scrape
the vent areas and caulk them, too. By the time
you have finished caulking everything, you'll
be on a first name basis with all the panels
and will know if you want anything further
to do with being upclose and personal with
this old gal. Don't be surprised if she has
seduced you by then and your emotions begin
to take over the logical part of your brain.
It does happen -- rather often,
Terry
