Calling anyone who has shaved their cab seam (and even those that haven't)! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How the heck do you get the seam sealer out? I can't get a wire wheel in there, and it's pretty solid stuff. I tried aircraft stripper, which seems to soften about 0.01mm at a time. At the moment, I've resorted to scraping it out with a screwdriver, very, very, very slowly, but this won't get all of it out. The stuff also gasses out when you weld over it (I tried a test spot weld just out of curiosity). It just bubbles the weld out while it's still soft and cooling...

Tips and suggestion are very much needed (and appreciated)! Is there some neat tool I'm missing?
