seam sealer?

[Fostang]

What did the factory use to fill in welding areas?

Anyone know where I can find it?link,pics,info will work.

I know someone out there knows

They used "brushable seam sealer". You can find it at any good automotive paint store. Use a 1/2" to 3/4" brush to put it on. You may have to cut the brush bristles back some to make it stiff enough to flow it on properly. If you look around the firewall and cowl area, you will find evidence that the factory did it that way.

I hope this is a related question, and not a hijacking... Does seam sealer do a better job of protecting joints than products like POR-15? I'm not doing a concours restoration. I just want good rust protection.

Kewl thanks.

I don't think seam sealer is an actual rust protector but rather something to help patch holes and smooth out welding joints.

It's harder to seal while welding than it is to use seam sealer.

You should use the seam sealr, then POR15 over it, then paint if necessary.
