andy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Can someone in the know recommend a good quality body seam sealer for the floors on my project car? I used Sikaflex many years ago but I can't remember which one. Is the sealer best applied to bare metal or primered surfaces?

Unclejake Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 CRC used to make a chassis sealant/urathane that was pretty good. I would paint frst if possible. Not just primer as it stays absorbent. Get some top coat on there if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yea I Epoxy primer then use the Sika-227, you can use it over bare metal but its asking for trouble in my eyes. If I did this all the time I would use the 3M 2pak seam sealer products (usually need there mixing gun) superior in every way over the solvent based sealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivaspeed Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Sika (I think) made a product called Carbond which was okay and reasonably easy to get hold of. Used it on a few projects and turned out okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Cheers for the tips. I'll try with the Sika. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz1600 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 for best results, prep, prime the area, sand the area, then seal, then paint. this is a guidline that we use at work following standox/glasurit restoration process. those sika sealants are good, but 3M have a bloody good sealer called "heavy drip check"... good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
