Vulcum 116 is used for the doors and top windows according to the A/S Dealer
in my area. He recommends Proseal (Sp?) Silver Aluminum) (Ordered some
today), for the main body seals although I have used the Vulcum on all of
the trim. This really depends upon how neat you can seal with a very thin
line. I use paint thinner (pure mineral spirits, no alcohol) to wipe and
wipe to get a very thin line. Works very well.

Others should comment, but isn't this vulcun (sp) used throughout a/s for
sealing? That's what I've used after stripping my Overlander.
