The exterior is coming together.
Anodized aluminum skin (it’s silver - the pink and blue are just protective film). Stapled at the edges, and stuck down with sealant at edges and around all openings.
Geocel 4500 seems to work great. Remains flexible, and has more adhesion than others I experimented with. And it’s $10/tube. I’m using it to bed windows as well (anything with black trim, as it only comes in black)
For items that aren’t black, I’m using OSI Quad Max clear.
The roof has two seams, as the tear is 61.5” wide. On those seams I stapled the first sheet to a cross spar, then used 3M VHB tape made for smooth-sided trailers - CV45F. (3M has good Documents online telling how to do this effectively.)
I used no fasteners on the top sheet. Just the VHB tape, and then OSI quad max sealant to finish it off.
If it’s good enough for horse trailers, I figure it’ll work in this application.
