Greetings:

Back in 2000 a builder recommended a 3M product "IIRC" = silver colored windshield sealant, rubbery, can paint over.

Can not find this 3M Product on the Internet and his E-mail address in no longer valid.

Does anybody have info on this Product or a valid 3M Product Number ???

Is there an equivalent to this product ??? What did you use ???

Thanks, Garey

JB weld is a good product for that application.

An award winning RV builder (Rod Bower)
http://www.ramairforhomebuilts.com/Photos/RV8/default.htm gave me a
great tip for this and appearances as well. he uses a diluted mixture of
Pro Seal, wipes it around all of his rivet lines to partially fill any
creases/voids and irregularities around the rivet head and the
skin/dimple. Said it only took him a couple of hours to do his RV8.

Hi Deems

Do you know what he used to dilute the pro-seal?

Les,
The manufacturer recommends thinning be done with Toluene, although many builders have used MEK successfully. Lacquer thinner is about 92% Toluene. I've used it many times to thin ProSeal, when straight Toluene was not available.

I'm not 100% sure, but when I was doing the tanks, the best solvent for
ProSeal was MEK, it doesn't evaporate as quickly as Acetone, and if I
recall correctly it seems to cut the pro seal a little better.
