High top gutter sealant

Post by High Peaker »

Planning on tidying up the exterior of my camper, and want to replace the cracking seal where the high top meets the gutters.
Can anyone advise what type I should use- presumably some kind of high-modulus paintable silicon.
Thanks

Tigerseal and sikaflex are supposed to be the best sealants.

You wouldnt be the same High Peaker I bought a Cyrus amp from (off ebay) a couple of years ago?

No, and certainly not if it blew up.
I go by another name on eBay, and have only recently entered the T3 fraternity!
Thanks for top tip on sealant. I shall spend the autumn methodically derusting seams and sealing roof in anticipation of a spring paint job. Or alternatively I may just leave it and hope.

Ive got the seams to sort out too. A spot blaster is a handy tool if youve got a compressor. Got mine from machine mart. It came with a few different rubber nozzles for edges and corners etc. Really good a t shifting pitted rust.

The amp is still going strong. Just thought you may have been the same guy. His id was "high peaky" and he was in Glossop.
