Re: [VAL] seam sealing



Hi Gary,

Get the sealer out and get to it. Try to remove any loose caulk but 
without scratching. Clean the seam well with mineral spirits and caulk.

When you have the trailer stripped and polished and recoated, you will 
need to do it again. but unless you are keeping it in a building, the 
water will rot out your floor. Or more likely, make the rot worse.

Caulking is the first job on an old AS. Otherwise you may have to tear 
out other repairs to fix the floor.Not surprising since a roof on a 
house lasts only about 20 years.
