Well one small challenge I have to address; the silicon sealant sticks to the rubber skirt of the dome slightly when its sits for a couple of hours. When I initially did the sealing I used plastic clothes pegs to lift the rubber skirt off the silicon and let it set for several hours. I guess the silicon hasn't 100% dried any or some got stuck to the rubber waterproofing skirt at the base of the dome.
I peeled of any excess silicon with a knife, then rubbed all around the skirt with Mineral Turps to remove any residual problem - but the slight stick is still there.
So what do folk recommend, do I:
- Wait some more for the Silicon to cure further?
- Clean the skirt again?
- Shave more silicon from the join?
- Coat the silicon on the join with Lithium grease so the rubber skirt isn't actually ever touching the silicon?
Many thanks for your ideas folks!
