6. Open each seam wide enough
to install a good bead of
silicone caulk. Working from
top to bottom apply Loctite
to and then firmly tighten all
of the bolts in that seam
(smaller dual beads of
caulking can be applied from
outside and inside if you
prefer).
7. Clean excess caulking off of
the flange area (inside and
out). The empty caulking
tubes can be used to clean off
the excess caulk without
scratching the radome finish.
8. Repeat caulking, closing and
cleaning the vertical flanges
until all of the lower panel
seams are closed.
9. Remove the tape from the
vertical seams.
10. The lower section of the
radome is now complete.
11. Place short pieces of 2”x4”
boards under the perimeter of
the lower panel assembly to
raise it up off of the ground.
