Re: Seam Sealer in the Bed question
I have done several. Clean out all the old caulk, wire brush or grind any rust out in the seams, and apply a rust sealing paint to the seams. Then reapply the seam sealer (3m fast n firm and Crest qwik-seam are both good). I prefer the type that uses a caulk gun for these areas. You can use paint thinner on a small brush to smooth any areas needed (or wax and grease remover). Hope this helps.

Re: Seam Sealer in the Bed question
A guy at work was patching his floor in a 69 nova & got a tube from O'Reilley Auto Parts,Expensive but works great. It was a tube like for a caulk gun & went a long way...
Hope this helps Mike 1985 SWB Silverado 355 ci 375hp+ (installing) 700r4 (installing) |
