[A/S] sealants



Ooh. Vulkem. Looked it up. Spelled with 'kem'.

I knew to use tape caulk under window trim thingies when working on the 
leaks in the old teardrop and the Boles Aero, but when I discovered a 
slight wet spot in the 1975 Silver Streak I used Silicone around the 
edges of one front window. I did not know where the leak was coming 
from.  It's put together much better than the Boles and I had no idea 
how to get it apart. Much less get it back together.

The leak stopped, but I'll be looking for Vulkem to re-do it for next 
wet season. Then I'll have to look forward to removing the Silicone.
