[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?
