[VAC] Re: caulking seams/Vulkem

[Roy Lashway <rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It has long been recommended one  get some Alcoa Aluminum Pigmented 
GutterSeal (grey
color) to seal the seams. Try to find a auto parts stores or call Aluminum
Co of America, 1501 Alcoa Bldg. Pittsburgh PA  15219, 1-412-553-400l and
ask for distributor for your area and call them for those they are selling
to. When you use it carefully run a small bead at joint and let it "wick"
into the seam in short spell.  Do not try to touch it up or use fingers or
tool on it when wet as you will just make a mess of things.  Let it dry 
and
then go back and correct your mistakes.  It has been used on Airstreams 
for
years.  Practice it bit to get familiar with it before hitting the 
trailer.
