[VAC] Vulkem clean up/Alcoa dissapointment
I used Alcoa Gutter Seal to seal my windows, the front two I replaced with
lexan. Well we had our first big rain last night so I went to check the
trailer for leaks. I found two.
One of the windows I replaced, and one of the vent stacks in the rear. I
still have to check the vent.
Tonight, I checked the windows. The alcoa gutter seal had turned a green
shade.... yuck! It had also shrivled up not providing a good seal. So I
spent a good half hour scraping it all off.
I tried to make a neat bead with vulkem. I got it into the grooves then
spread it with a paper towel. This got it into the grooves over the wrap
windows nicley but it smeared about a half inch on the sides where I don't
need it.
Is there a way to clean the vulkem off the areas I don't want it, but
leaving it where I want it?
