westguy Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 one corner of my house the caulking has started to give way and the panel is starting to lift during highway speeds. I have re caulked all seams and corners and it worked loose again on way home. Is there any types of caulking that works better? Any input would be great. Thanks.

RebelSS Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Use an elastomeric caulk, which is rated for higher joint movement/flexibility then a standard latex/silicone caulk. Make sure you give it a good 48 hr cure in a warm area...it'll take forever to cure in cold weather. That may be your problem.

westguy Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I had it in a heated shop when I applied it around 80 degrees in there so I doubt that was the problem. I used DAP dynaflex 230 caulking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech~~ Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Caulking and then throw a few screws in it! Better safe then worrying about looks! westguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Use a caulking adhesive. I used some 3M 760 on mine and it will stay. Not cheep but works great. It needs 72 hours @70 deg to fully cure. gunner55 and westguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
