OK well I bet you there is a difference, wich 3M seam sealer should I use in my Drip rails outside the car must be paintable.
Also what should I be using inside the car? I was reading a tube of it the other day and it said not to be used inside the car.
Are the sealers used in the engine bay diffrent as well due to heat?I say 3M because that’s what my Jobber can get
I thought about not using any seam sealer at all especially after seeing all the corrosion that was under the old stuff.
But I dont like leaks either although I doubt the car gets driven in the rain much after Im done with it.Thanks in advance
i like 3m bare metal seam sealer, its a two part seam sealer, but basically if it says dont use it inside the vehicle its because of its strong odor but thats usually the 1k sealer. you might also use the 2k flowable sealer for your drip panel.
Checked out 3M web sight I only see 1k products????? nothing that requires mixing
I know my jobber has the all around, Fast and firm, and the brush able from this web page http://www.shop3m.com/3m-seam-sealer-djlg9dfdh2.html
I’ve had good luck with fusor 800ez

If you are using 3M, I would suggest the automix line. They are 2 part epoxy and urethane products applied using a gun for the cartridges. If you have access to these products, they are your best bet.
As far as corrosion goes, read the tech sheet for the products. Some can go over bare metal, but most are supposed to be applied over good cured 2k primers (epoxy or urethane).
The 8307 http://3mcollision.com/products/sealants/3m-self-leveling-seam-sealer-08307.html is the most common for the drip rails. It is self-leveling and will flow to a nice smooth looking finish.
The 8308 was my favorite all around brushable seam sealer. It can be used most places and is very durable. http://3mcollision.com/products/sealants/3m-heavy-bodied-seam-sealer-08308.html
