If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

Still not getting it?
How about this?

Now you've got it. It's the Great Stuff Pro gun that will dispense both insulation or construction adhesive.
The instructions say that you can leave a can attached for 30 days without it curing in the gun.
6 months doesn't work. It's as hard as a rock after 6 months. Well, DUH!
Yea, I spent some time today taking this apart and cleaning it up. If you have to pay someone $25.00 an hour to clean it out, it's cheaper to just buy a new one.
If it's just your time, then clean it up.
In the unlikely event anyone needs more detailed photo's, just let me know.

If weight is the main thing on your agenda, what did that roof covering weigh compared to a standard EPDM roof covering?

Weight isn't the only/main thing. Everything in an rv is a compromise. Is it too heavy? Is it too light and therefore won't last long term.
How much will it cost?
I was willing to compromise some weight on the roof, figuring if the roof leaks, the rv will self destruct over the long term.
On the other hand, if I can save some weight here or there, and still have it last, that just gives me extra cargo to carry.
The drawers are a combo of weight/cost/longevity.
I'll probably end up using 1/2" thick sides, with 1/4" bottoms, for the drawers. I think that will hold up, and I'll still save a couple of bucks on plywood, as well as some weight.
Nothing like a balancing act, to keep me on my toes.

Fortunately, we had a piece of plastic, that just happened to need a repair job, that, hopefully, this will fix.
There is supposed to be an ear here.

... and the instructions appear to be written by a native English speaker and not Chinese run thru a translate app ! It says it only hardens with UV, I suppose that would mean that on wood joints, that only the exposed edges would harden ? What if you just put a blob of the stuff outside, would the suns UV rays cause it to harden ?
