Our 2015 Keystone trailer has a soft spot in the corner, which I suspect was due to a gap in the self-leveling sealant on the corner trim. We temporarily fixed it by applying more sealant, but now it's time to fix the underlying wood damage. My plan is to only replace the damaged area of wood, and to reuse the existing EPDM.
After reviewing lots of how-tos and YouTube videos online, I'm going to tackle it myself. More questions will likely arise, but I'm starting off with just two:
1) After you're done installing the new wood, you're supposed to glue the EPDM to the wood. I've seen both roof-specific adhesive used, as well as ordinary contact cement. Does it matter which?
2) If the factory installed the EPDM by gluing it to the wood, how do I remove the EPDM from the damaged wood? Just peel gently?
Thanks!
