BShould there be a fabric layer between the chicken wire and the padding? If so, what farbric?
CWhat is the best sealant to use around the edges of the vinyl and on tack heads?
I understand there is a good video covering this install on "abarnyard" but cannot seem to access it. Suggestions on how to access OR on another video option?
Input appreciated.

A: No fabric is necessary between the ribs and the wire. You can use friction tape in this area if you like.
B: A heavy Duck Muslin cloth. I typically use 10 oz. This is just to support the Cotton padding.
C: Any rubberized Seam Sealer (available at automotive body shop supply stores) is good. It is typically frowned upon to use Silicone as it sometimes promotes rusting of the sheetmetal.
D: I never knew that Marco had any videos on his website.
