Hi all.

I have not been able to pin down the source, but I am told that there is a pressure pack paint type substance the can be sprayed into wall/floor joints to seal the cracks and thus lessen the ingress of dust from under the van.

I am also told that there is a special paint that can be painted onto the roof of a caravan to seal it against leaks.

Are any of these rumours true? If so, could this 'miracle paint' (if available) be used to stop dust, and again, if available, can it be painted over?

Regards

Hi, if you are chasing a rubberised paint in a pressure pack, you can purchase these cans from most auto part shops ( supercheap sells them for $12 - $15 per can ). I have used these on many an occassion. They are not good for the lungs, so make sure you spend the couple of bucks for a dust mask or anything that may suit. Also i do believe that you can paint over, but you wont get a smooth finish.

Hi guys, thanks for the info.

That rubberised roof paint, I presume would come from specialist caravan shops?

Wallypop, that spray-on rubberised stuff you mentioned to stop plumbing leaks, I used a similar product about 10-15 years ago, it's grey in colour, but I decided against that as I found the sprayed on material was very soft and flakey if handled or rubbed up against anything else.

I will have a look at Supercheap suggestion and the roofing paint.

Thanks guys.

Hi Janset, i just found the can that i mentioned earlier. The brand is " DynaGrip " and is labelled: Rubberised Undercoating. It also states the following :

Seals & Protects against rust & corrosion, reduces road noise, durable & flexible, paintable, does not crack and dries quickly to name a few.

Hope this is of some use to you !!!

Thanks guys.

No I am not thinking of expanding foam, I know what you are refering to, but it is not that.

DynaGrip is what I am looking for, and possibly the name and source for purchase for the water proofing paint.

Who knows, that may also be a suitable (cheaper) alternative as I wish to spray and or paint all possible dust entry points along any and all accessible corners, wheel arches and such.
