[RE-wrenches] Flexible panel install on airstream

[Jason Szumlanski]

Butyl tape is great when sandwiched between a metal roof and another
material. Chemlink m1 also sticks underwater. Geocel 4500 is great, but it
lacks some ASTM certifications required for use on roofing, so we don't use
it anymore. I expect it would work well in this application, however.

You might call the guys at nuCamp. I just purchased one of their trailers
and they have a flexible solar panel stuck to the roof that appears to be
very solidly adhered with no mechanical fasteners.
