SEAM SEALERS
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.
See INFORMATION, Sealing and
corrosion protection.
Seams to which seam sealer is applied during
factory assembly are detailed in the following
Figures.
Apply seam sealers after the application of primer
and before the application of surfacer and top coat.
The seam sealer must form a continuous bead, with
the profile of the bead dependant on the type of
seam. If seam sealer is applied with a brush, take
particular care to maintain the required coverage of
the seam. Where shaping of the seam sealer is
required, use a cloth soaked with solvent such as
white spirit or Shell SBP3 to achieve the required
finish.
Ensure that ALL accessible repair seams are sealed
following a repair. Damage 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 underbody
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 (e.g. box sections), treat the
affected box member with cavity wax.
