What kind of seam sealer to use?

[Franks 72]

How thick are these products ? Are they runny? I would like to seal the troughs at the rear barn doors ,they are almost vertical and dont want a mess to clean up. Perhaps even some upside down work on the sil extensions. Thanks

I've had real good luck with Lord Fusor. http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/fuso...e-p-30952.aspx I get the neutral color which is the same color as the label, kind of tan color. It's not priced too bad either. I've had the 3m stuff just peel right back off....

I wire wheeled most of it out and also used a screw driver/hammer combo for some chunks.

The guy at the paint store told me a few ways of using the self leveling stuff...he said for vertical stuff you can lay it down on wax paper and peel it off before you stick it on...didnt try it but i think it could work. I ended up doing my vertical seals with the self leveling...i just masked really good...laid it out really carefully...smoothed it with my finger, and then removed the tape before it dried so the edges could smooth out. Everything around my rear hatch turned out really good. Good thing at 50 bucks a tube!

Aaron,

How quickly did the self leveling stuff set up on the vertical run? Some have said you cannot use it on vertical surfaces, and some say you can. I plan on using 3M 08307 2-part sealer on mine and don't want to buy something else for the vertical runs if I don't have to.

Thanks,
Mark

Yeah it actually turned out really nice...set up time goes fast..like 10 minutes or so. I did the drivers side, then the top, then the passenger side in three different applications. I also used tape to mask the lines...let it self level...and even used my finger a little...after a little set up I removed the tape and that little edge smoothed right out. I used the 2 part 3m stuff...about 45 bucks a tube. Turned out really nice.
