Hey guys and welcome to Episode 7 in this No Experience Van Build Series. Today was another big job done as I installed the Max Air Fan Deluxe which will defiantly be a great addition to the van. It means I can finally start to cook all sorts of smelly goodness inside without having the smell of onions lingering around for days like I had in the Galaxy hah. I got the fan from leisure vehicle services who were a great help and I would highly recommend them for any parts you need in your conversion.

Use masking tape around the surround of the window put your silicone or silkaflex on ,then remove tape nice clean lines.🤗

@Jay-ro8xt 3 года назад

Ha lol just wa I was going to say . Funny enough iv just bought masking tape for the same reason 😅

Yes, or painters tape. This is the general best technique for straight and clean caulking, in your bath or your Fiat Ducato.

@Richard-eb8dy 3 года назад

@@WillsWhereabouts also use turps to clean it after applying it. to clean it nice and smooth. Use a rubber gloves with the turpes to get it extreemly smooth. After that remove the masking tape.

@baldvale5418 2 года назад

Hi Will i'm loving this Van build series please keep the video's coming. For nice straight line when using silicone ect use masking tape all around so that it looks like a frame & then apply the silicone. To give you a smooth finish mix some washing up liquid and warm water in a jug (about a quarter full) dip your finger and smooth it over the silicone keep dipping as you go & you don't need to press on. Once the silicone is dry then peel the masking tape off. Hope this helps. All the best.

Trick to getting a neat finish with sealant is instead of using a spatula, get some spit on your finger and run it along the bead of sealant, sounds strange I know but learnt it when I was an apprentice plumber 😂

@mcimon91 3 года назад

That was great! Your confidence is showing more and more when you're doing your build! 👍 And if you look at rv videos where they show the roof, their sealant is also blobby and smudgy. I guess it's the texture of the product.

@adamwoodward2313 3 года назад

Nice to see this van build coming along. When using silicone, or decorator's caulk first use a Stanley knife and cut the end of the nozzle off at an angle, about 45 degrees, and about 5 to 10mm from the tip. The further away from the end of the nozzle, the wider the bead of silicone will be. Then, to get it nice and smooth you could go with the old-school method which involves spitting on your finger and using it to smooth over the silicone, or I guess water with a little washing-up liquid would also work. Good luck with the rest of the build.

@WillsWhereabouts 3 года назад

@jond7583 3 года назад

Try getting a cheap one inch paintbrush, shorten the bristles to just under half length with a pair of scissors then dip in thinners/white spirit and brush over the wet sikaflex... doesn't give a smooth finish but gives a neat brushed finish much like the seam sealer underneath the vehicle's body. Excellent videos by the way... can't wait for the finished project!

Hey buddy When you seal with any sealer and want a pro finish. ..use masking tape strips on top an bottom of work area. ..seal and smudge product in and pull masking tape off for a clean line. Hope it helps. Cheers

@SteveMrW 3 года назад

Good job well done. Looking down from above onto the fan casing, if you extend out by 5-10mm and go round the perimeter of the fan casing with masking tape, you can then put a bead of the sealing compound all the way round. Smooth it out with a wet finger, only go over it once. Remove the masking tape and you should have a nice smooth edge all the way round the casing. Please always wear goggles

@robertpierce123 3 года назад

I used to work at an RV shop and it is VERY difficult to make lap sealant (Sikaflex) look good, takes lots of practice. What's important is to start with a clean surface and then ensure that your seal is complete, including over the screw holes, and from what I see it looks like you did it right. If your fan assembly has a reverse setting, you can use this function to create positive pressure inside the van and then spray soapy water around the seal. If you see bubbles, you'll need to touch up the seal. (You can also use this method to check the windows you installed.) Also, if you find that you need to remove any sealant, there is a chemical called Hexane that is excellent for this, although I don't know how easy it is to get it in the U.K.; you need a permit to buy it in the U.S.

@garethwilliams8406 3 года назад

With regards to the sikaflex, or any type of sealing to be honest, if you making tape around where you want to seal then take the tape off it will look a lot neater. With regards to the the ice gem look, you can spray simple washing up liquid and water onto it and then on your finger, and rub them down. Keep spraying your finger on each one. Hope that helps

Smooth off any silicone with a finger wet from your warm soapy water. It finishes the surface really nice. Don’t worry about the surface getting wet as it’s a warmer proof seal.

@cocopufer5667 3 года назад

you could have used metal roofing screws they have rubber washers built in so you don't have to seal them, or you can buy little round pre caulked vinyl dots - also used for metal roofing to put over the screws so you don't have to caulk them. rather than sica flex you could also have used a liquid roof coating like snow roof, which may have been a little easier - however all that said, nobody's gonna look at your roof, that's a tall van! and if its not leaking then you did a good job.

Squirt some mastic up in the ridges on the inside, between the wood and the ceiling. If you can get it in deep enough it will make a seal with the mastic you applied on the outside, and help prevent any drips coming down.

@tuoppi42 3 года назад

Masonry bits usually have a carbide bit soldered in the tip. They are basically made to crush and channel the dust out. Metal drills have distinctly different geometry that varies repending on the metal you are drilling; stock sngles are fine for typical materials. Metal drill bits can have different colors depending on hardening process used, surface treatment etc.Titanium nitride gives gold-like finish that, if done correctly, gives good wear resistance. Cobalt alloyed drills are overkill for your jobs, but they are nice (and usually more expensive) - carbine drills are so expensive that the pain in your wallet keeps you away from them - and they are not for hand drilliing anyway as they break so easily (very hard, very brittle). Wood drllls come in all kinds of weird shapes; usually the ones in the kit have somewhat straight head angle and spike in the middle as drilling guide.

For sicaflex, Try wearing rubber gloves then spraying your finger with contact cleaner and rub that around. Helps make a smoother seal although probably not the professional way. Plus saves getting too messy
