Expert Answers about Lubricants Sealants Adhesives
- Removal of Old Adhesive and Dicor
- When installing new Rubber Wiper Seal and Bulb for RV Slide Out, # SR48FR, remove the old adhesive using a putty knife or other tool with an edge to scrap. If you use a metal tool sometimes heating it will assist in the scrapping and removal. The use of mineral spirits is frequently a good way to get the sealant’s adhesive to release.
Once your parts are replaced, if you reapply new sealant be certain to use the correct product. Self-leveling sealant is designed to level out as you...

- 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.

- While you should not have to use adhesive to get the lens to stay on the # MC32AB, you could use a bit of a silicone sealant to keep the lenses stuck on and sealed. That way you could probably peel of the sealant without too much trouble if the lenses need to be replaced. With any stronger adhesive I would be concerned that you would not be able to remove the lens without damaging something.

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.

Plumbers dope can be used on the plastic PVC-like pipes; available at hardware stores. If the PVC pipes are not threaded you should use primer and the appropriate adhesive for joining...

- 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.
