How to: Molding on a Floating Skin Install
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2015 6:59 pm
Okay the outer Luan is on, sealed and ready to be covered with aluminum.
I've rough-cut the aluminum, ready to route it down flush... doors have been done.
I've decided I'm going to float the aluminum instead of gluing. So is there anything applied under the edges of the aluminum like silicone to help keep water out, and is there anything that goes under the trim?
I've been reading/searching but haven't found an answer for this one.
I plan on putting screws in "wet"... install the screw, back it out, reinstall after putting sealant in the hole. Seems there has to be some kind of sealants under the molding itself.
