To start, my trailer is totally gutted as I am redoing it. It is aluminum skinned, built in the 40's, and resembles an Airstream (but it is not). The previous owners had had some leaks and instead of repairing they gooped on a bunch of fiberglass along the leaking seams. I've removed the fiberglass and rivets from about an 8 ft section of my roof and will clean out the dirt and grime between the overlapping sheets of aluminum. I found some hard deteriorated rubber between the sheets that was used when the RV was first built. What should I put between the 2 sheets of aluminum to ensure there is a watertight seal before I rivet the sheets back together?:
1. A thin sheet of rubber like what was originally used
2. A thin layer of TremPro 635 Polyurethane
3. A thin layer of Silicone sealant
I plan on purchasing Olympic Shaveable Rivets for rejoining the sheets.
Thanks,
Lee
