The brushes, wooden spatulas, etc. used to spread the body sealant should generally be cleaned only with pure benzine.
If these objects are cleaned with paint thinner or other alcoholic liquids before applying the body sealant, the sealant does not cure and remains sticky. This reduces the adhesive force of the paint.
When replacing sheet metal components (doors, side wall, trunk lid, etc.) as well as welded body parts, carefully seal folds and opening with body sealant. Seal spot weld seams and rivets on both sides.
Prevent corrosion and leakage.
Observe following procedure:
1 | Carefully clean affected body parts. |
2 | Apply sealant uniformly. |
3 | Level body sealant. |
Observe drying time before overpainting. |
