crazie_eddie Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi All I've moved my LazyDaze with the back facing south and I've just noticed that the sealant around the window is turning to goo - kind of soft and sticky. The window doesn't leak, although I've also found a few spots of mold. It's been warm and sunny here for the time of year, but only in the 60's. For most of the summer I rigged a tarp to shade the window from the full west sun. Does this mean that the sealant is failing or does this just happen sometimes? Many thanks...

LFDR3116 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 We had a tube of stuff that would not cure (set) like it was supposed to. It was like goo. DH tried it 2X , same results. Cleaned it out and put something else in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenp Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 That sealant is most likely butyl putty tape. It is supposed to remain soft and pliable. Take a plastic putty knife and scrape the excess off and then (if you want) apply some good caulking along the edge. Lenp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazie_eddie Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks! I was imagining the window collapsing on me at 2 in the morning with the 50 mile gusts we've been having! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
