urethane may adversely affect the strength of the urethane sealant bond.

2. Use the wool applicator to apply Urethane Metal Primer or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G234-C to any exposed metal on the
pinch weld.
3. Apply 8 mm foam butyl or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G234-C to the pinch weld.
