Seam Sealer
A heat cured, PVC based sealant is applied to specific joint seams during factory assembly. This material is not suitable
for service use and during repair, should be substituted by an approved seam sealer.
Apply seam sealers after the application of primer and before the application of top coat. The sealer must form a
continuous bead, with the profile of the bead dependent on the type of seam. If the seam sealer is applied with a brush
take particular care to maintain the required coverage of the seam.
Ensure that all accessible repair seams are sealed following a repair. Damaged to a vehicle often flexes areas of the body
remote from the impact. As a result the seam sealer in these areas may be disturbed by subsequent straightening and
repair operations. Check all seams in the vicinity of the area undergoing repair for evidence of cracked seam sealer, then
clean out as required and apply fresh seam sealer using the following procedure:
Clean the affected seam and re-treat any exposed metal areas with a suitable etch phosphate primer.
Treat affected area with an etch-acid primer.
Apply appropriate seam sealer as necessary.
apply appropriate colour coat (and under body sealer as applicable).
Where seams are inaccessible following the reassembly or fitting of components, ensure that a paste-type seam sealer is
applied to such seams Certain seams also become inaccessible after the completion of panel repairs. In such instances
apply seam sealer and paint before final assembly
Provided access is adequate, apply seam sealer to both sides of a repair joint. Where access is limited to one side only
(eg box section), treat the affected box member with cavity wax
