Re: [VAL] they all leak???
Ann,
Ann, the clear coat must be removed prior to polishing, we've all had to
do it. Our trailer had no more leaks after the clear coat removal than
before. We sealed the wider gaps with Vulkem, applied with a syringe
and sealed the narrow gaps and panel edges with Parbond, straight from
the tube (tape each side of seam first). We have not had any leaks that
I can detect in over two years.
Then, polish over it like normal. Here is a page by Arlen & Shirley
Manning that the describes the process:
