What can you use to replicate the sealer you find round the seams of the car

[stickycreambun]

Seam sealer, either brush on from a tin or mastic gun tube. I have a ton of upol one, perfectly good, you can geta nice eedge by using masking tape same as decorating.

search the forum but I'm sure people just use seam sealer like this on from upol

[sonikk4]

There are various sealants out there. Upol is good along with tiger seal etc. DO NOT use any silicon based product.

If you can get your hands on it Proseal aircraft sem kits. PS870B2 or B 1/2. This has a temperature range of -50 to something like +60. Over paintable, oil proof ( hydraulic and engine oil) and of course flexible. Once on its a complete sod to remove if applied correctly.

There's one call Tiger seal. Comes in a tube it's flexible and you can over paint it.

there is another product to remove aircraft PRC... ill dig out the product code for you tomorrow. its the only thing that works. that or rubbing it down for weeks with scotchbrite. I was thinking of using PRC as well. b1/2 refers to the time it takes to cure. you can get b2 (2 hours) and b12 which both give you a bit more time to work with if your not in  a rush

Halfords do a tin for 16. Does what's needed I find it OK

I've found the upol grey strip stuff that you brush on not only isn't smell friendly, but also dries out and crack with age. Instead I've been using a sealant similar to tiger seal but much cheaper. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item20d0960fe4

The numbers refer to the working time so 2 hrs for B2 and 1/2 hour for B1/2. The cure time is considerably longer. It all depends on heat and humidity.

Yes i have, my clubby has it on the wings to scuttle gap and under the inner wing to wing gap. My lads mini is completely sealed with it and the Mini i have just done a body resto on has it as well. I have used it on other cars as well.

Nice, will pick some up then... i thought also of using JC5A for assemblies when they are bolted to things like the servo bolted to the bulkhead as a corrosion

inhibitor what do you think ?? Obviously in aircraft there are very few metal to metal dry assemblies...

Ahh nastinox, yep it should work well especially on things like subframe mounts like the heelboard. I use Nickel Never Seez on exhaust manifold bolts and studs.

[minidaves]

and dont forget to etch prime before you seam seal
