[VAC] Re: Silicone vs. vulkem

[Don Horn <donhorn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Another opinion from the Airstream Dreams site --they prefer 636.

> Here are excerpts from Tremco descriptions of 636: "Vulkem 636 is specially
> designed for use in the joints of vehicles such as trucks, containers,
> mobile homes, recreational vehicles, rail cars and similar items where the
> joints are subjected to stress and vibration as well as expansion and
> contraction...Once cured, Vulkem 636 exhibits tenacious adhesion and has the
> ability to be subjected to stress and vibration as well as expansion and
> contraction within a joint... Vulkem 636 is especially effective in holding
> roof sheets in place against normal load vibration and air forces...Rivets
> may be set through the uncured Vulkem 636, which will act as a sealer."

Also note their comments on 116 vs. 616.

That little old trouble maker,
