Drip Rail calking re-do
My drip rail calking is cracked, peeling and falling out, needing to be redone. I'm sure this is where the inner windshield/cab structure rust steems from so I'm hoping to stop it before it starts. Any suggestions on sealer to use or procedure you guys have had success with in cleaning, sealing, finishing the project?
thanks to all who posts.....and a happy new year to all! |

3M Drip Chek
http://3mcollision.com/products/seal...ler-08531.html It can be aggravating to work with (it's like trying to spread chewing gum), but it levels nice. It does shrink quite a bit though so I would leave plenty of time before priming/painting. Used lacquer thinner on my finger to spread as you would for applying seam sealer. |

Re: Drip Rail calking re-do
3m makes a self leveling seam sealer, i've used it on quite a few projects and have seen no issues with it

Re: Drip Rail calking re-do
i havent had any problems with it at all it comes in grey or white only thing is i think it only comes in what they call a foil pack and you need a special gun (3m is kinda like that)

Re: Drip Rail calking re-do
Not sure what 3M seam sealer I used,but it's the kind that stays pliable. I had an issue with paint flaking due to using a primer I thought was a sanding sealer that pint goes straight onto. When I went to re-do it I saw that the 3M stuff had pulled away from the drip rail edge and was allowing water in and keeping it there! Glad I had the paint issue and caught it. This time I used what my paint supply shop offered and am very confident and happy now. It's what automakers use.
www.dominionsureseal.com Or,scroll down here. I used the first one (red tube) and it's paintable in 30 minutes. Not sire all the differences...kinda complicated with all the choices: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...,d.dmQ&cad=rja
