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

mowemech: That is correct, got a neighbor up the street thats a airline mechanic.
Recent storm dropped a branch on the roof of his PUP, poked a hole thru the aluminum roof.
He brought some of that stuff home and I helped (mostly watched and drank a beer),But yeah, that stuff he used is pricey and he had the gun already!
Cut a piece twice the size of the hole and sealed it good with that airplane stuff. Its On and NOT coming off! He also had some sealant that he uses on the radar panel on the front of some aircraft, he uses it if the plane has had a bird strike and cracks that nose piece! Its a brush on sealant and it is very tough! And very very expensive!! He used that to seal the edges of the panel he put on the PUP..
