And it's at those hardware stores with the stock from 1899 where you
will find the best Airstream restoration hardware, fixtures and items!
All the big box stores carry the same new generic items, usually of
lower consumer quality.
There are three local old hardware stores where I get my best stuff, and
the friendliest service. They are worth searching for and supporting.
I got my bedding tape (aka mastic tape, aka butyl tape) at a local glass shop.
