Belly pan seams & fasteners

1·2·3 How to apply it

1. Inspect the full underbelly for sagging panels, torn corners and missing screws. Replace or retighten fasteners first.
2. Run a two-inch stripe of gel directly along every overlapping seam and drop edge.
3. Dab a heavy blob over each exposed screw head and washer.
4. Pay particular attention to the perimeter, where the belly sheet meets the frame.

✓ Things to consider

• Do the repairs before the gel. A torn belly sheet needs tape or a patch, not a coating.
• Fresh damage, droppings or shredded insulation above the sheet means you already have tenants. Deal with that first.
• A gallon covers a full 25 to 40 foot underbelly with product left for the rest of the rig.

✕ Things to avoid

• Do not rely on gel to bridge a hole. It seals seams and gaps, it does not patch a tear.
• Do not coat the dump valve handles or anything you need to operate.
• Do not skip the corners. Corners are where the sheet pulls away first.
