If there’s one way to ensure you get the most out of your RV, its
protection. You have to protect your RV in one way or another—whether it be
having the engine regularly checked, changing the tires, or keeping it clean.
But there’s one aspect of RV life that too many owners often ignore, and it’s
one that can mean the difference between having an RV that looks its age…or an
RV that looks like it’s in its absolute prime.
That product, of course, is sealant.
If you’ve ever owned a home or a boat before, you know the importance of
sealing wood other materials. Sure, wood is a strong and durable material, but
without adequate protection, it can sometimes betray you. Not so if you
consistently apply fast-curing sealer that will maintain the integrity of your
wood even after repeated exposure to the elements—including the elements of
basic RV living. With that in mind, here are some of the top sealants for wood
and other materials we recommend at RVbyLIFE.
End Grain Sealer: ½ Gallon Kit
The “end grain” of your wood is a particularly vulnerable piece of material
that requires special protection. Without adequate protection, it can be even
more prone to the disruptions that occur with weathering and aging. With
sealing…well, the story’s a little different. RV by LIFE End Grain Sealer,
parts A and B, constitute a full kit that will help you to maintain the quality
of your wood for months and even years to come. Not only will this end grain
sealer help maintain the quality of your wood, but it will offer protection and
durability in one of the most vulnerable spots on your entire RV. Consider it a
wise investment.
Life Seal® Silicone Sealant Cartridge
Silicone, of course, is durable and strong—but that doesn’t mean it can’t
benefit from a good dose of solid protection. Specifically, this Life Seal®
silicone sealant is great for enhancing the mildew resistance of your silicone.
The 24 hour cure ensures that you don’t have to wait long to use your RV again,
and the non-shrinking and non-corrosive properties will help maintain the
integrity of your silicone, protecting it even from the sealant itself. That’s
some serious protection for a material that very few RV owners understand—and
it comes at a highly-affordable price.
Life-Calk® Polysulfide Sealant Cartridge
Able to bond to fiberglass, wood, metal, glass, and even itself, this is a
flexible polysulfide sealant that can be sanded to give your pieces the finish
that keeps your RV looking new and fresh. One major benefit here is that you
can even apply it to damp surfaces, which means you don’t have to turn your
sealing process into a weekend-long event that will have you wondering why you
ever bought an RV in the first place.
It’s important to have pride in your RV—not just
in how it runs, but how it looks. Effective sealing with the tools listed above
will ensure that your RV looks as healthy as it is.
