Seam Seal
« on: March 28, 2005, 08:41:43 PM »
I am currently in the process of refinishing my pan, not a complete but basically refreshing it, I have had to weld in a piece here and there and found that the original seam seal is dryed up and cracking all along the various seams on the pan, what is the recommended seam seal for this application? Is there only one? Is there different strengths? Best place to buy?

Thanks in advance...

You have a couple different options, one being a brushable seam sealer, comes in a quart size can, makes a bloody mess. or you can get a caulking tube of seam sealer, either joint and seam sealer or urethane type sealer. Lordco, Mopac, KMS tools, or any parts store will carry these.  I personally like the urethane type used with a caulking gun. if you want to smooth it all out, use a 1\" bristle brush cut short.

Little trick; try smoothing it out with a wet finger( some slober on it but that's when you wind up with your lips sealed to your tounge) best way is to wear a latex glove and dip fingers in water. Water will stop it from sticking to glove but end up with a nice finnish and water just evaps.

sorry you must have had me confused with James, I have no fear of the glove as I have done nothing that deserves the glove!

suit yourself but you will get a nice smooth seam not one with a bunch of brisle marks in. n' hey if you got somethin against the latex glove you could do away with the water and use a pre-lubed jimmy hat I guess :huh:  :huh:  :huh:
