Caulking Seams & Joints?
Checking out the seams and joints on our RV 5th wheel after washing and waxing, lots of hairline cracks. Those of you with similar problems, what brand/type of caulk have you used to repair and re-sea...

Well, I have the same gel-coat over fiberglass set-up, and just finished caulking mine using GeoCel ProflexRV in white. It took me a bit to learn how to get best results...After a few false starts (tube end cut too large), I ended up applying masking tape am quite happy with the end result. Cutting the tube end small is best, and be rapid with tooling (knockdown) and tape removal since caulk sets rather quickly. I used a dab of mineral spirits on my fingertip for the initial knockdown, and again after tape removal to eliminate the raised edge lines. The key is to work quickly and minimize the number of knockdown attempts (I limited to two), since repeated knockdown will cause this fast drying caulk to look coarse and grainy...Done properly, caulk looks quite professional with hairline cracks (around cut-outs) now unseen.
