caulking homemade mahogany hatches?
Hi
Yes you fill the gabs and sand the goob down, also a very very important issue --- you make sure the goob only attach to the sides of the gab not the bottom, as if it stick to the bottom it can not move and then as you can se everywhere where this foult occour , the goop will open at the sides. Usealy you fill in a thin strip ,some even use a flat string push it down to cover the bottom of the seam and then fill with goop ------ emagine it attached to only the sides then the mastic can follow any swelling where attached to 3 sides it will eventually fail at one of the sides causing a leak. |
