Original 60s looking goopy seam sealer, any suggestions?
- Thread starter jtfx6552

My project is finally totally blasted and in SPI epoxy. I need to re seam seal the interior, trunk area and underside. It is on a rotisserie.
I too need a recommendation for a product. Is the 3M Dynatron not good for this when applied through a caulking gun? What will work when applied when the car is on it side and not “run”?
I plan to spray epoxy again after sealing.

To recreate the look in the OP's post you need to have a sprayable seam sealer gun and appropriate seam sealer. A good one (gun) is not cheap, but would include the various nozzles needed to reproduce the various factory finishes.

Personally I only use 2 part seam sealer for the vast majority of what I do. It dries/cures in minutes compared to many hours, even days for the old type one part seam sealer. There are some better one parts out now but I don't have any experience with them. The biggest drawback to the 2 part seam sealers is the cost of the applicator gun and the expense of the product itself. It is worth it though IMO. Better performance being the main reason.
Lord Fusor, SEM, 3M, Evercoat all make good 2 part seam sealers. Nearly all of them use the same gun. 200 milliliter gun is pretty much standard. Something like this will work. Disclaimer I am not recommending this gun just using it as an example.
If you don't want to go to the expense then use a one part. 3M makes a urethane seam sealer that is decent. All of them perform about the same. If you have to really goop it on be prepared for it to take quite a long time to cure. And it will crack some as it shrinks.
