| New User Posts: 3 | I purchased a 2008 Exiss Sport 2-H Slant Trailer. The interior stall walls are rubber lined just it appears that oestrus and time has acquired the glue sealant to separate from the aluminum frame. The more important issue is information technology appears horses that were hauled with back shoes have gauged/torn pieces of the safe kick wall near the floor but above the floor mats. My question is what is the best way to fix or seal this tears? I have a can of Gorilla Waterproof Patch and Seal Rubberized Sealant Spray. Should I trim off the loose pieces, clean the area with alcohol and use a scotch brite pad. Allow the areas to dry and use the Gorilla Rubberized Sealant Spray on the torn spots? I know that the rubber walls probably need to be reglue/sealed again to remove the pockets. I will address that later. Commencement concern is the torn areas along the bottom kicking wall need to be sealed. Pictures attached. | ||

| Veteran Posts: 172 | your all-time bet is to detect some conveyor belting, preferable the thinner stuff to supercede the whole wall with. y'all can look on craigslist for the stuff that is less than 1/4 inch. the probable with the rubber virtually trailer manufactuers use is that at that place is no binder in there, so the crumble apart pretty easily. the conveyor belting you can normally find used is a fiber mat covered in rubber, it is tough as nails and comes in long sheets. replacing it with the same fabric will lead to the aforementioned problem rather quickly | ||

| New User Posts: 3 | Thank you for your response. I volition be replacing the walls at a later date. I demand a fix now so I can booty my mules 300 miles to our new home without any further damage to these areas. I have Gorilla rubber sealant that I think will cover. I just need to know how to clean up these areas in order to apply the sealant to prevent further moisture (urine) getting in. | ||

Frankly- I wouldn't be concerned almost a 300 mile trip with it looking like information technology does. Near trailers look like that, or worse. But when it is repaired, water from cleaning will arrive there, and must drain out. Long term- you will probably exist happiest with a Rumber product. They make a 4x8 sail of 1/4' material that is commonly used in a place like that. You lot tin probably get it at any trailer dealership. | ||

Hauler the same equus caballus in Sundowner and now a Platinum and haven't had any issues with the prophylactic wall cover. BUT they are much thicker too! Not worried about my until I determine to sell it then I volition ready it! | ||
