When renewing the roof/wall corner seam with some new mastic/non drying sealant. Do I have to religiously remove all of the old mastic from the seam joint ? I was thinking of using a cut down wooden spatula of some sort or a modified wooden clothes peg to scrape it out.
Do I just need to remove enough so that I can apply a liberal dose of fresh mastic/sealant ?
I don't have damp. I have tested everywhere with my new non invasive damp meter. I just want to reassure myself that the brain dead numpties that made the van weren't just lucky. Hence for making sure I won't have problems in the future. I have no intention of paying £40 - £50 + an hour for what should be a simple job. I haven't done this before, so before I started I thought I might get a few pearls of wisdom from the initiated. Thanks in anticipation
