I have a Itasca 1980 Minnie Winnie that I'm thinking of buying, but it has some water damage over the cab and the aluminum skin has corroded at all the staple spots in front and underneath. There are some soft spots,but about 95% solid, so there's hope? Has anyone used this tape to lay up an overlapping layer to seal a large panel area? Outside of tearing into the underlaying I don't want to spend the time and effort if it's not worth doing. It doesn't look too far gone yet and is structurally sound from what I can see and push on. The RV has been under cover the past 14 years, so definitely saved it from the junk yard. I was tossing around the idea of laying up a fiberglass overcoat on the front of the cab, has anyone done this? Or is there a quality seal/overcoat that would seal this up? I know it should be torn apart and fixed right, but I don't have the place/time to do it, or the $$$. I saw this product on Amazon in the 6 inch width and thought I could lay up an overlapping shingle across the front of the cab then seal over the seams. Sound feasible?
