Well I've finally reasealed all the joins where the aluminium bottom panels meet the aluminium body.
My motorhome is a 2008 and the black mastic had sunk into the gaps over time so decided it was time to reseal the gaps. I started off by cleaning the areas with sika cleaner 205
I then masked the top and bottom edges with 3M blue masking tape. I left approx 2mm on the top edge and 1mm on the white aluminium bottom part. I used sikaflex EBT+ which is an adhesive, sealant and filler which is a non setting mastic which stays flexible.
I applied this along the gap ensuring it was squeezed into the gap. Once I'd done a section I used an old credit card which has the perfect rounded edge to remove and shape the excess mastic. I then removed the masking tape which left a near perfect line. Any excess mastic I used a rag dipped in white spirit to remove. I'm well pleased with the results
I'm going to do the roof joints when the weather gets better.
