Filling seams

[Red63440]

What do you use to fill body seams? With having to remove the bed liner material a good bit of the seam filler came out with it and needs replaced. What to use and how to apply it....

I've bought seam sealer in a can that is applied with a brush. I would think your friendly neighborhood parts store should have that.

Or in a tube to put in a caulking gun. But still, a local autoparts should have it.

3M makes it in a caulk gun type also.

Thanks guys, looks like a trip to the parts store is in order.

There are many different kinds

some are paintable, some not, some sandable..

depends on what you need


Good idea to brush some epoxy in the area before you lay the seam sealer down.

3M 08500 all around sealer

Not so much worried about it being sandable but it does have to be paintable.

I've saved a few bucks and had very good lock with the dominion products.

Use a Urethane based sealer. Fusor, 3M or Dominion Sure Seal etc...don't use an acrylic or solvent based material.
Most durable, stays flexible, and adheres to anything...
