Expert Answers about Chevrolet Lubricants Sealants Adhesives
- What All Can I Use The Alpha Systems AlphaFleece Tape for Wood Seaming on RVs For.
- Yes it will accept PVC adhesive, the felt backing will soak it up and help create a strong connection/bond. The adhesive has a longer life span than butyl tape and it is cleaner than using caulk or other sealants.
It will need to be treated with paint or an adhesive on the felt backing. If not treated it will wick water/moisture, if treated it will be waterproof.

- The smallest container size of the Alpha Systems 8011 Adhesive for RV Roofs, is 1 Gallon - item # AL27CV. This provides a strong bond between your roof membrane and your RV's roof. But the Alpha Systems Patch Kit for SuperFlex RV Roof Membranes, # AL57CV that you linked to includes 1 tube of 1021 self-leveling sealant. It depends on what the damage is and how large of an aera to cover with the patch if you need to something such as the Alpha Systems 8011 Adhesive, # AL27CV or if it is a...

- Yes, the Alpha Systems Alphabond Repair Tape for RV Roofs # AL32KV will adhere to a fiberglass roof. You will want to make sure the area you are adhering too is thoroughly cleaned. We do not have a recommended adhesive, you will just want to be sure you use an adhesive that is intended to be used with fiberglass.
You will then want to use a non-sag sealant like the LaSalle Bristol XTRM Universal Non-Sag Sealant for RVs # 344270341437-1 to make sure you seal everything completely. This...

- I took a look at the install instructions of the Lippert Components Shower Pan for RVs # LC210377 and there is a note that states: "All caulks, adhesives, sealants MUST be compatible with ABS" so when installing the pan be sure that any adhesive you use clearly states it is compatible with ABS.

view full answer... - Should Sealant Be Used On Valterra T05-0782 RV Toilet Floor Flange
- According to Valterra, you should use a non-hardening sealant safe for ABS plastic. Don't use standard pipe dope or teflon tape as the pipe dope will harden over time which can cause leaking. Teflon tape acts as a lubricant, not a sealant. The danger of using that with ABS pipe is that it can cause the installer to over torque the fitting which causes the pipe or fitting to deform which would then very likely leak.

- No, you would not have to use adhesive between the roof and the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" Item # FV802250 during installation.

- The seal will push right on, but I would recommend using a few dots of adhesive to secure the seal in place. I would not recommend using a super glue, as it can melt plastics and weld things together. A few small dabs of silicone sealant would be enough to ensure that the seal stays in place.
The seal should be installed so that the rib you speak of is on the outside of the vent.

- I spoke with my contact at Derale and they provided some very useful information. They said you do not want to use a liquid sealant of any type because it acts as a lubricant when first applied and would actually allow you to over tighten the fittings causing leaks. They suggest using a thread tape and tightening to approximately 8 to 10 ft lbs. Although the suggestion to hand tighten and then turn an additional 1/4 turn may work, the term hand tighten would be different for everyone.
