Do I need to caulk the seams in the paneling before applying?

It may help with the finished result. Keep the seems of the paneling away from the seems of the paper.

Not necessary. We just applied paper over them. They paper has decent strength to hold up. However, if you expect kids or other objects to run against on a regular basis, then the paper might pierce and tear on the gaps.

If you are concerned about leakage I would just caulk around top. I didn't have any problems with mine.

We recommend routine sealing of vinyl before painting with any brand or type of paint. We have sealer available on our website.

Use the J and B and shore something up against the panel for about 24 hours or 2 days after using J and B for maximum cure time. Use a cinder block and slide up against panel so it doesn't slip during hardening process

I just used some construction adhesive and put some clear caulking around. It worked great.

Clear. Make sure you use plenty of water during installation. It makes it easier to squeegee the bubbles out.

The pair I purchased did not seem to have any caulk or sealant on it. I was happy with my purhase.

Yes, you will need a medium duty caulking gun. There are products (that don't require a caulking gun) that come in squeezable tubes that are okay for small jobs and/or hard to reach locations. However, it is difficult to lay a professional looking bead of caulk with these tubes and comparatively they are very expensive. If you own a home, especially an older one, you will need to do a lot of caulking and a caulking gun is a wise and inexpensive investment. You should purchase a decent one with a rotating metal wire at the end of the gun (where the nozzle of the caulk tube goes) that is used to pierce foil seals in the nozzles of most painter's (acrylic non-silicone) caulks, and will help to break through any hardened residue in an old tube of caulk if you want to use it after it has been sitting around for awhile.

You must seal the seams. The tent instructions even recommend this. The tent fabric is treated with silicone, the seams are not. The rain comes in through the stitching on the seams. Use a silicone spray, generously over ALL seams, inside and out. I seal the seams on all of my tents every year; I own 5 tents.

You shouldn't have any issues, you'll need to pre drill, and use a high quality silicone sealant during installation.

I had to google the answer as no instructions were included. Use adhevise glue on around edges and use spray adhevise over interior of panel. I hope this helps!

I really don't know but I did remove 99% of the old caulk and the caulk strip went on very nicely and it is still in place with no problems.

Yes. I started at the ceiling and worked my way down. When I was about a foot away from the floor, I lined up the vinyl to the trim and cut the extra. Then I finished applying.

You have to trim it a little bit with scissors. Also, before you modify it, spread it out and check for improperly attached seams. My middle panel was not smoothly joined to the others and I have a permanent wrinkle in the middle.

It depends on how you trim the film. If you made mistake then it will look bad and noticeable. If you made it perfectly, no one can tell your seam unless you look closer.

To be on the safe side, I would clean the sufface with TSP, and then use the primer. I would also use a hard bristle brush during cleaning, to remove any loose sealants, or coatings. Be sure to caulk around any roof vents before application.Hope this helps.

On mine the panels are not totally water tight. So the extra moisture leaks through whichever the bottom seams happens to be. In most cases it the seams opposite the doors, because I tend to leave the doors in the up position.
