Structural adhesive applied around body side lower fixing holes
Seam sealers
A heat cured, PVC Plastisol sealer is applied to joint areas during factory assembly. This material is not suitable for
service use.
Carry out seam sealing after the application of primer and before the surfacer and final paint coats. Ensure that surfaces
are first cleaned of all grease and oil. Apply the sealer material to the joint as a bead, either by hand or using an
applicator gun. Where necessary, brush sealer well into the joint and wipe smooth using a cloth soaked with solvent
such as Shell SBP3. This will ensure an acceptable cosmetic finish.
Apply sealer to ALL accessible joints following repair work. Be aware that damage to a vehicle can often result in
deflection to those areas of the body which are remote from the impact. The sealers in these areas can therefore be
disturbed by subsequent straightening and repair operations. Check joints in the vicinity of the area undergoing repair
for evidence of cracked sealer, clean them out as required and re-treat them with fresh sealer using the following
procedure:
Where joints are inaccessible following the reassembly or fitment of components, ensure that a paste-type sealer is
applied to such joints. Certain seams also become inaccessible after the completion of panel repairs. In such instances
the paint process should be carried out and sealers applied before final assembly.
Provided access is adequate, apply the sealer to both sides of the repair joint. Where access is limited to one side only
(e.g. box sections), inject the affected box member with cavity wax.
CAUTION: ALWAYS deploy an extractor unit to remove toxic fumes when using oxy-acetylene equipment to
remove panels treated with wax and sealers.
The following Illustrations show the treatment areas for Seam Sealing.
All areas symmetrically opposite to those shown are also treated.
