Thanks for watching!

Good comprehensive caulking instruction. Refreshing to see someone on KZread, instructing, who has the right to instruct. Too many not so smart people giving not so good tips...."hacks". Don't hack life, man...live it and do it right. Put that on a T shirt

You are 'The Man'.

Nice technique. As a plumber I have used that style of application on plumbing fixtures for years.

Hey mate (yup, I'm Australian...), that was probably THE best video I've seen on how to reseal. Thanks very much - Peter V.

Great video with good instruction. I've wondered how it's done the right way. I tried last year and didnt do so great. Thankfully I only had a small section. Will tackle all when warmer weather comes. Probably next Spring. Thanks for the tips

Boy that does look super professional! Thanks for this - I'm about to work on my own RV to prepare for winter camping.

Great informational video Randy, as all of yours are. One of the reasons why we are happy we bought our RV from you. No matter what questions we asked, you took the time to explain and show us,even long after we bought in 2012.

The fellow knows what he is doing. Good work. Thanks

I got rid of all the factory screws that rust and replaced every one of them with stainless steel screws I picked up at the hardware store, and used clear silicone on them as I replaced each one.Thanks for the video.

Outstanding. I am caulking my Class A now. I needed the tips!

You Rock!! Great lesson 😊👍🏻I just bought my first small 1997 sportsman and I need to seal the outside. I found two areas inside where the wallpaper is bubble but not stained. I’m going to go buy the products you mention today and start the sealing lesson just in case. I live in Florida and we get a lot of rain. I’ll be slowly and doing what you said in your AWESOME video. Thanks so very much. A happy camper student 🥰🙏🏻

Very well done, great video my friend! Always wondered how they did such a fine job. Now I know. Thanks!

yep i was gonna say i learned from a sealent pro always go both ways to get a proper seal. you got it.

Thank you! I feel confident to try it now!

This is great. I just bought an older trailer house that has a relatively new roof, but I found a couple of seams on the sides where the old caulking was really poorly done and is leaking with heavy rains. This looks like it will work just as well for my application as for an RV, so off to Home Depot I go!

Great pointers, excellent explanation.

Awesome tip!! Thanks for showing it to us....

Thanks for the tip! Cant wait to try this out

Great technique...now to do ours! Many Thanks!

Great video and excellent tips! This was helpful!!!

Yeah Buddy, yes he is. Thanks again Randy for another exceptional how-to. I have always used water to set the bead but that mineral spirit looks like it does much better. And definitely keeps your finger cleaner. I am clear over on the other side of the country or I would definitely stop by. Thanks Man, I am Grateful.

vegasdavetv Hey there Dave! If there is anything you would like me to make a video on, let me know. I will see what we can do. Thanks for the continued support my friend! Randy

Wow, what an awesome video. Thanks.

Thank you for the great video. Nice Job. I worked as a seal inspector for several years. Your techniques are used industry wide. A+ Couple of things. Many cleaners leave a residue. Wiping with the dry rag before the cleaner dries is essential to proper seal adhesion. Clean, clean, clean. Cleaning is the most important part of the entire job. Your cleaning was great. Leaving the cap off the mineral spirits is a no no, for starters it evaporates, but the big issue is when it accidently gets knocked off the bumper and spills all over. That stuff is not cheap. I could go on and on about little kids finding your open bottle of mineral spirits and drinking it or dumping it all over the place, etc...but I won't ....oops, where did that cap go? Darn, now you have to use a rag as a cap....bummer. I pour some mineral spirits into a smaller bottle with a flip top that can be manipulated with one hand, and if it does get knocked over, when open it, won't glug glug glug all over. If your concerned about absorbing chemicals through the skin of your fingers, wear very tight thin latex gloves. But if your just a weekend fixer of your RV, it won't be enough to kill you. Do it every day? might consider the gloves. And finally, spit, yes spit on a bare finger gives the nicest seal and appearance of all. But avoid this practice, your introducing all kinds of stuff into your seal, and your ingesting seal and bacteria. It's just gross. Not to mention that in applications that are industrial and require inspection, spit is NOT APPROVED for any applications. But........if you have an tight area that the rag is making a mess of...............spit on that finger!!! smooth it out....tap that corner down perfect.....wash your hands..

I did mine. Scraped out the old stuff. Cleansed it gasoline. Stinky but works well. Gave it a final clean with glass cleaner. The used painters tape to make a crisp edge. Worked great.

Excellent video. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this!!!

Very skilled.Very good👍 my little rv has got some water ingress,aluminium body ,leak seems to be comming from central sky light and running along to rear bathroom area.No water ingress around sky light but i hear the water running along ,could also be leaks where rear ladder's joined too.

Thank you! Excellent !

That was a great demo thanks for sharing! I do t know what the problem here in Canada when I ask for mineral spirits. Every answer is “huh?” I did this work thousands of times when I was in the RV industry but used acetone successfully. But the breathing of that ship is horrible. I don’t really like this part of maintenance but I gotta tackle my roof this spring..

SunshineLeclair Hey there, I am sure someone some where has put a weight limit on a slide box, that probably change due to depth, size and type of drive system, but it is nothing that I have seen posted to me or the public without enquiring with the manufacturer. If you are thinking of changing furniture, you will be more than fine as long as the new furniture is not made of bricks. Any slide box should take at least 500lbs when out and 150lbs when in motion if it is still in good working condition. Thanks for watching! -Randy

Thank you

Good tip, i use too much caulk.

Thanks

I cut more of a 22.374 degree angle. I just feel it works better.

Great video. Hopefully It will turn out better than my bath tub calk job. What products dirld you use for the seams?

Great!!!

Great video. I just wish my $34 tube of caulk wouldn’t dry up after I’ve used a tiny bit.

You are good.

Thanks god bless

All caulking guns have that release tab to back off the pressure. Good caulking guns do it automatically when you stop pulling the trigger.

thanks

When you do windows do you keep the same process ? Frame windows are not so hight so sealant does it go over the window frame? Thanks great video.

We have to replace the "tape" ( not sure what it's called) inside the groove on the front sides from the roof top all the way to the bottom where you were caulking. Do you have any suggestions on keeping it from dislodging. It started coming out on our way thru AZ ( hot summer). We stopped & did a fix as best as we could to get us home then replaced it. How do we keep the "tape like" stuff from coming out again. Can we caulk the outside of the groove like you did plus the inside too?

What’s the best sealant/caulking for around an assist handle or underneath your camper door?

NICE CAULK ;)

Very informative, good video! One question though..Do you ever revoke the old sealant first?

@RandalMurrayPRV

hey there Edward, great question! I will remove the old calking if it is not adhered to the coach well or flaking off due to age. If it has good adhesion and just needs a touch up, I will clean well and coat over just like in the video. Thanks for watching!!

So mineral spirits and a small caulk bead.

Does this RV sealant stick to RV sealant? Can you go over the old stuff if it doesn't look too bad?

Hey Pete, nice video. I have a newer trailer that has black caulking on side vertical rails. Underneath is putty coming out. Would you suggest pushing the putty back in with tool or finger, then recaulk with non leveling dicor? Thank you

Good Afternoon, Have you ever resealed outside vertical wall seams on a aluminum trailer?? Any help would be great appreciated. Thanks

Petey Pete’s peeps. You should tell beginners to put tape down. Both sides. Or buy the pinstriping tape. You can peal middel strip of tape out. And calk. And peal tape away after you’ve wiped it with finger. Then they learn . Slowley lol

Should you use fast drying or slow drying mineral spirits?

Great video and tips. One question, if starting from scratch on a fiberglass RV what would be the best sealant to use or that you would recommend.

We have a popout in our 27 foot camper and a leak in the corner just after the popout, on the back wall in corner. Any ideas where the leak might be coming in?

I can see through the cracks as the wall edges deteriorated. Can I still use this method? I inherited a very old RV that is fiberglass bullet shaped.

Ive heard mineral spirits can destroy an rv roof? T or F? Also😂😂😂😂 You just reminded me WHY a few spots Look like my RV went through an earthquake.....it did & I WAS INSIDE. It was Terrifying i thought a massive truck had hit me but went outside & no one. Was completely freaked out till my friend told me it was an earthquake 😂😂😂

Can you use this method when using geocel?

New drinking game. Drink every time he says caulking. I’m already drunk. Lol
