Default Gasket/sealant for Water Heater Door?

Hi Guys,

I'm replacing my Suburban SW6D in a 1996 Roadtrek 210P.

Question: What product(s) do I use to build up the gasket/sealant on the outside water heater door?

Thanks!

That looks like the answer!

Now I have to figure out how to remove the old stuff...


Thanks!

I replaced an external outlet cover and used the tape. I believe I used mineral spirits to remove the residue from the old tape. Washed it off and then put a coat of wax on before installing the new tape/outlet cover.

Awesome! Thanks! I just ordered butyl tape. Looks like it'll do the trick.

This could be long shot but could be the best solution. Hein makes profiled gaskets for fan van roof installations, he could make a specific gasket on his CNC machine assuming you have 3D drawing. Good luck. https://diyvan.com/
