Prevost XLII Skin Delamination Repair

[travelite]

CC_Guy,

Bostik 70-03A is what Prevost recommends for XLII panel leak repair for minor leaks when the rivet approach isn't required or desired. It works well because of the UV resistance and especially because it'll stick to stainless steel w/o excessive cleaning or surface prep - no special cleaner, primer, or activator is required as in the Sikaflex 255 case. The tensile and shear strength isn't as good as Sikaflex 255 nor is the elongation, but for sealing a minor leak in panel that's for the most part well attached to the coach, Bostik 70-03A fulfills the requirements.

When Prevost (Nashville) was repairing my H3 panel the tech explained to me that they have a wide selection of bonding products to choose from depending upon the accessibility of the leak, the difficulty in getting cleaning and priming products into the breach, and whether it's anticipated that the panel should be easily detachable for future access. It seems Prevost Service Centers have been well schooled and well equipped to handle our bonded coach needs!
