Guest Zachb55 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I did this right ontop of my sealer primer because i had removed all of it prior to painting the first time around. stuff goes on really easy and can make some of those ugly welds, that people wont be seeing much of anyways, look really good, and of course seals them from water and other stuff. Very good point though RacerX i sure hope everyone who is doing a rebuild on their car would address this because ignoring it will certainly lead to rust down the road, and ugly weld seams if your like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Good post! Now what's a good brand? Thanks, Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagz Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Yup. Planning on it myself. I picked up some 3M seam sealer from my local paint supply place, but I would be interested to know what brand RacerX prefers/recommends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYHEM Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I used seam sealer from http://www.eastwoodco.com/aspfiles/search.asp. Do a search under seam. I was very satisfied, as with all there product. and the Eastwood tech line has some outstandng people to answer tech question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I bought the regular seam sealer and plan to apply on my 77 fiat spider. I have a few 1/4" by 3" cracks on the floorpan I plan to cut metal pieces, apply to outside with pop rivets. Along with precoating with seam sealer on underside and also inside of car after I first coat rust with Por 15. I wanted to add info I obtained from a mechanic friend. Racer X have you ever used just cold tar that comes out of a caulking gun? My friend swears by it. He says it will seal and also remain plyable enough to absorb the car vibration so it won't crack and allow moisture in the future? Oh great goguly mugully any input on this? Boy those fiats have alot of rust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 You know. Really I bet they do the same thing. But I think I'll go the Seam sealer because it doesn't cost that much more and its formulated for the job at hand. Thanks Racer Hey around 10/4/03 I'll be traveling to CA. for my 30 year reunion (dam I'm old!) at Cubberly High School in Palo Alto. I'll give you a call.
