5. To provide a clean caulked seam all around the
panels: apply painters masking tape to the outside
perimeter of each of the panels about ¼“ from the
top, bottom, left and right edges at each flange
joint. The tape will be removed just before the
radome caulking has had time to set.
NOTE: It is extremely important to assure that the flanges
are properly aligned before the bolts are tightened and kept
in alignment as the hardware is aligned. This is necessary
for the inside clearance and the outside aesthetic
appearance of the radome. Please note this picture shown
good alignment as observed from inside the radome and
below a flange with bad alignment.

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 areas inside
and outside the radome.
8. Repeat caulking, closing and cleaning the vertical
flanges until all of the upper panel seams are
closed.
9. Remove tape from the vertical seams.
10. Apply a 3/8” layer of caulking to the under-side of
the perimeter flange of radome cap.
