Vertical seam caulk

grashley · Mar 16, 2018

Just got home from maiden voyage. WHAT AN ADVENTURE! More details will follow, but for now, what caulk do you recommend for a visible vertical seam between the side panel and the end cap net the bottom? White camper. Trees don't move.

Geocell?

I like Geocel Proflex, which is available in clear as well as several colors. Another great product is 3M Body Seam Seal and 3M Flexiclear, which are used on cars & trucks to seal joints.

Or good old Dicor, but not the self-leveling formula.

Maybe a pic is in order. Sounds as if a minor collision occurred with a tree. Might be a better solution than gooping a seam up with sealant.
Otherwise, I have to agree with the Geocel Proflex.

Vertical seam, especially with a gap-
Sikaflex 505UV, or Sikaflex 221.
These are 1-component urethane that both seal, and have the ability to form a structural bond.

They are a little harder to find but a good RV dealer will have them on the shelf.
I bought online from www.delamrepair.com

You have to a little careful when buying because they have a "use by date" on the tube label.
