Looking for some advice from those who have dealt with recaulking their windshield.
I am struggling to get the old caulk out from around the exterior of my windshield on my 04’ 340. I was able to get some out, but certainly not all of it. Will the new caulk bond to the old caulk? I was planning to clean the area with Acetone/water mix and use 3M 4000 UV or Boatlife Lifeseal (white). Also, I read another thread that said to put down vinyl or painters tape on the deck and windshield trim to give crisp lines and reduce the cleanup/mess. I assume the tape is supposed to be removed immediately after caulking so it doesn’t bond to the tape, correct?
