Restoring The Deville Part 25

Sealing up the outer edge of the trailer before applying the new J Rail and putty tape. This is not done during original manufacturing but it's a good idea once the skin has been removed and put back. This is because of the old screw and nail holes that are in the edge of the skin. Now I will concentrate on a few more details involving sealing the rest of the trailer up like the windows, access doors and brows. At the same time I will return my attention to the inside woodwork.

Hi Mobiltec:

I am watching your last few videos and am very impressed. I will watch many of your videos in this series as I begin to restore my Terry again this summer. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with those of us who are repairing our own trailers. It is really helpful. We couldn't do it without you.

Bye,

Sharon R.

@anmoose I switched to an electric 110v drill motor after shooting what you saw with the cordless.. At that time I donned the safety googles. They are actually skydiving goggles but they work fine.

I admit to having occasionally worn "safety contacts" myself, but I do try to keep it safe. My mechanic at the golf course learned the lesson the hard way some years ago, working with a wire wheel on aluminum, just like you. Spent a whole afternoon in the ER while an eye surgeon picked aluminum out of his eye. It was about 3 weeks before his eye was normal again, and he assured me it hurt like a bitch. I started paying more attention then. So did he. LOL

[mobiltec]

@anmoose Yep everyone should wear protective goggles...

[anmoose]

Haha! I was about to give you Hell about that. Didn't get here quick enough. :-)

@davidsquall351 I had my "safety contacts" in... Actually I was thinking that someone would bring that up and probably should have used them on the video. I did use them after I stopped shooting.
