So what are the tricks of the trade here. I'm looking at the silicone surrounding the various attachments on the side of the 5th wheel and it's getting dried and cracked and separated from either the side or the object in places.
Couple questions:
Should I scrape off the old before putting on new?
If Yes, what's the best thing to use without damaging the side panels of the RV? I'm thinking plastic putty knife
What is the best way to keep the silicone lines looking clean. I don't want a ton of silicone slapped everywhere. I was considering taping a gap around everything prior to taping but that seems pretty labor intensive. Is there any other way of doing it to keep it clean looking?
Should I go with the RV specific type of silicone or just exterior stuff from Home Depot/Lowes?
