To keep your fingers from getting all nasty from spreading seam sealer with them. Dip your finger in thinner before you start and keep dipping as you work and it will not stick. The trick is to keep your fingers wet with thinner. Body man showed me that.

at the shop we work at we wear latex gloves or use a acid brush. it works the best. also not to sound like and expert but when you apply most any seam sealer. you should allways use a etch primer before you seam seal or a good epoxy primer. 99.9% of seam sealers dont have any zinc in them , and that s about the only thing to halt rust. most etch primers have alot of zinc. i have never seen a epoxy primer have zinc, but any primer is better than . just seam sealer over a weld. hope this helps

Thanks for the comments guys! The cab is now in epoxy, and looks really good! It wasn't that hard to spray, and the PPG DP40 went on amazingly well. It's nice to see it in one color to get an idea of just how far it's come over the past few months. I can't see daylight when I look down anymore

AlreadyGone, I'm not sure I'll have the truck done for watrous, but I will definitely have my 84 vette there if I don't. I go every year and I'll be sure to stop by if I see you around your truck. It really is a great show.
