Re: [VAL] Leaks
Dick,
Oh, yes. There can be leaks at the seams. The black mastic applied on the
inside of the skin gets brittle and dry and cracked and stops performing
well. Use a lap joint or "gutter seal" caulk to fill the seams from the
outside. Gutter seal is a bit trickier to use than other caulk because it is
designed to "wick" into the joint or seam, so it takes a little practice
beforehand.
