FYI:
On an Airstream trailer forum, Air Forums, they have a specific thread for sealants and such.
Their leak problems are monumental. This is a list users have provided for:
Windows/Trim//Exterior Lights:
Sikaflex 221 Grey (seals and bonds. Use Eternabond spray cleaner to prepare surface)
Parbond Grey or Clear (small hand tubes, prep and clean-up use cosmoline remover)
Trempro 635 Grey
Loctite® PL® S40 Polyurethane Window Door and Siding Sealant
Lexel™ Clear
Aluminum Pigmented Gutterseal
They have also referenced marine and aircraft ones on the forum.
I have not yet started to experiment with any of these. Hope this list will add a few options for our campers.
I have the perfect solution, just do not know what it is.
The dirt sticking is the main problem. Most will seal against leaks.
Thanks, and keep the suggestions coming.
