[A/S] I assume this needs to be done



Hi all!
While Walbernizing the week before, I got to go over
the trailer fairly closely.  I think I know the answer
to this question but just to confirm and get a product
name....

Up in the roof area I saw a couple of spots where the
aluminum skin joining between rivets is slightly
raised.  Sort of a very slight buckle.  In other areas
where I have seen this, the sealer/caulking neatly
fills the gap.  In my case these two spots show
nothing but open air.  I'm guessing that there is
sealer/caulking further back under the skin which
keeps things weather tight.

Proper maintenance tells me that I should fill these
gaps.  I thought I remember someone posted that there
is a filler that you use to close these small spots up
and its not the Vulkem sealer which is used for major
work. 

I'll get this taken care of next spring when the
trailer comes out of inside storage.

Regards,

Jack
