RV tech. help on what sealant to use?
I am going to be cutting a hole and installing a new cable entry port on the side of my brand new travel trailer. What do the factories use for a sealant when they install them ? Jack L

If you want "forever" sealant, go to your local airport and visit the parts department at the FBO (Fixed Base Operator). Ask for Proseal or PRC. that is the sealant that is used on aircraft, often on lap joints for pressurized cabins.
It comes in various types, depending on the intended use. there is even a type approved by the FAA for use in fuel cells!
I glued a Pratt and Whitney badge to a nickel silver belt buckle in 1970, using the white sealant.. It is still there, and the sealant shows no deterioration at all.
Of course, being an aircraft product, it isn't inexpensive. The special gun for the tubes is also pricey.
It is paintable, and forever, if properly applied.
