Caulking Detail
Figure 3E As Viewed from Outside
Apply one strip of caulking near the outside edge of the outer sheet. (See Figure 3E.) Place a 10" long
strip of caulking along the horizontal seams. Before bolting the next ring into place, apply a strip of caulking
10" long on the front of the underlapped sheet at each joint. A 10" strip of caulking is also to be placed
along the lower horizontal edge of the lapping sheet at every vertical seam. This will fill the space that
occurs between the holes caused by the overlapping sheets. Additional 10" strips of caulking must be used
to fill larger gaps that occur with heavier gauges and laminated gauges.
