Where do you apply the silicone caulking for outdoor use?

You caulk it on the edges of the glass, there is a small gap where the glass meets the metal. Really easy to do.

Mine has a rubber gasket. Not sure why you would need silicone unless they forgot the gasket.

I've had 2 of them outside year round in upstate ny for 2 years. I never siliconed them and haven't had any problems.

Before I mounted mine I sealed what little might have water or condensation come through with all weather. Silicone caulk and electrical tape.I have mine mounted to the side of my house about five feet from my camera, Ivehad mine a for a few months and looks like its holding up pretty well with no problems. The cord it comes with is pretty short so you might have to install a new outlet near the mounting point or run an extension cord.

We use this on our roof. I don't know about caulking. We have a 1995 sunrise Tt and our rv mechanic recommended this Dicor works great on seams and roof. No leaks. The roof is rubber not alum.

Look at the copper strip right past the out section. You will probably find a break, solder it together, and use outdoor silicone to seal.

Yes, using the standard caulking gun. However, do you need this much, how big is your job? if you are doing a small job, there is a smaller tube. cost about the same but can be reused within a reasonable amount of time

If it is a small gap get calking as it is much cheaper. If a big gap then this would be a great application even though it is meant for waterfall as it holds up to water and doesn't expand as much as other foams. Also this does stick so so if you overdid then the fixture would be a bit difficult to remove down the road. Caulking would probably not be as difficult.

I would seal it first with a water-based primer or bonder. XIM has one in white that would be perfect.

Did not have that problem but a good outdoor silicone caulk should take care of any leaks. If the unit is full and it freezes it will be likely to crack from expansion of the ice.

I would give it a shot. It worked great removing caulk from my driveway. Silicone glue should be a snap to remove.

I think that a better resolution to your problem would be to apply strips of EPDM roofing materiel over the joint that you want to reinforce.So far as applying this over silicone, I don't know if that would work or not.

I think a double sided removable outdoor tape would work best. I have found the performance of these is far less than I expected, maybe your results will differ

I installed mine outdoor but I built a small 'closet' around it to protect it from freezing temperatures AND from the sun since UV typically degrades plastic.

I just used duct tape and it worked fine all season. Put down two layers on top our concrete patio. Only thing I'll change is to install the pool in our carport out of the sun. BTW, the material "aged" from outdoor exposure in south Louisiana and will need replacing for this season. Enjoy.. O^Ocrm

You do need a caulking gun. Ours came with adhesive that worked great; if adhesive is not included, purchase construction adhesive.

I personally would not use this outside, even though it has a cover on the wiring it is NOT a water tight compartment. You might be able to get away with a lot of silicone. I wouldn't risk it.

Home Depot has a nice plastic sheet, made like cardboard, but water proof. They also carry plastic trim pieces that cover the edges. You can cut this with a good pair of shears. They have white and opaque. Some silicone would make a great seal!
