something I've been thinking about

[kmjt1021]

This thought has been bouncing around in my head for a while.

Ok use your imagination, if you had two clamps that you clamped to each end of the hood, then attached to the clamps you have bar of somekind running the length of the hood, with rubber on the wall side of the bar.
Now the bar is levered (if that's the correct word) so you can press it against the wall and lock it in place. This should give you a water tight seal and a place to clamp plastic. Never again the need to tear up the caulking to tuck plactic.
I've thought of many reasons why it won't and why it will work.
It's time for research and developement, or to forget about it.
What do you think? Idea's welcome

Bryan,
Sounds great to me. It is obvious you are a deep thinker. Probably genius caliber. Don't sit idle on your creative ability - as a great philosopher once said (I think his name was Randy Moss) 'a behind is a terrible thing to waste'.

I believe that Kobe Bryant originally made that statement.

What about hoods longer than say 8ft. You would need something to keep the bar compressed in the middle.You would need to carry different length bars.Keep your brain smokin,God knows I'd buy it if it saved all the wet vac and sweegie work...

I remember someone saying that they used wood lathe strips for something similar.

Well if you had extra bars that would link that would take care of longer hoods, and if I incorperate those sucker things I found that could minimize any flex in the middle.
