Author	Topic: Where to put seam sealer
70grande Journeyman Posts: 80 From: Renton, Washington Registered: Mar 2001	posted 12-23-2002 05:43 PM OK yet one more request for help. I have welded in a new floor pan and am ready to seal all the seams in the interior. (I removed all of the interior paint and sealer a while back) I have two questions 1. There are large gaps in the corners and the back side of the seat support between the seat support and the floor pans are these water runways or should I seal them up two. Cant quit tell in the pre resto pics I took. 2. Also when I am finished has anyone painted the interior metal with rubberized sound deadner, was it effective. I am modernizing the vehicle and want to keep it as quite as possible? on the inside of course Thanks again for your great insights.

The Osborn Body Weld/Sealant manuals show exactly where the sealer is applied. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 - '72 Mustang Sprint - '94 F-150 Be sure to remember our sponsors, Mustangs Plus, NPD, and Osborn Reproductions.

Registered: Aug 2000	posted 12-25-2002 10:02 AM Even though Ford put seam sealer over bare metal and it lasted a long time... is not a reason to do the same. A good primer over the bare metal area first, then the seam sealer. Rust moves laterally and can get underneath and spread. IP: Logged
