Whatever the new good stuff is , just go find a preschooler to apply it to get a consistant result similar to the old stuff.

Have noticed in engine bays what looks like lines of caulking under the paint in various places...... Does anyone know what it is and what it was for? |

Anybody know what the best product match is to the original seam sealer used from factory? and also how to apply it to look the same/original? |

As long as it's applied in the same way as original stuff, no one will know what it is. Why use old inferior stuff when the new super dooper stuff. |

Thanks peterb. What i meant to say was what is the current product on the market that resembles the original when applied? or is it much of a muchness and all in the way its applied to look original. |

my local paint shop recommended T-Rex Fast Grab - same as this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Soudal-T-Rex ... 1911286582 I used it to redo my roof gutters and stick on my seam covers.... I haven't used anything else, but it was easy to work with and stuck really really well as I found when I tried to remove some.

3M product "seam sealer" and "drip check". Seam sealer goes on with a six inch brush and a lack of interest for the best results and drip check is for budding cake decorators....... |

A BMC Australia service bulletin that details the application of sealer/calking compound has been added to the Archive folder. viewtopic.php?f=49&t=95451 |
