Default Caulking update

Well once I started removing caulk I just kept on going and knocked out 3 vents + antennae too. Now that I think I got the hard part (prep) complete, a few questions before I will apply Dicor self + non self leveling.


Larryjb - Maybe I will have to come back again and remove the vents and risers, but ran out of time/steam. Wondering

-Should I try to remove trip pieces to get these stray pieces of caulk out from the vent and front trim?

I removed enough for the new caulk to join with metal frame and trim, so hoping that is sufficient.

- Is 7 tubes of caulk enough for just the front shell? (Have 4 self leveling and 3 non self leveling)

-Have a trip planned for 28 March (4 hr one way) so held off on the A/C shroud for now, especially because it's very hard to get under the back portion.


Shane826- thanks for the advice on Eternabond. How long have you had yours on? Heard the struggle to remove is huge, and that sun can cause wrinkling of the tape.

Thanks !
