Re: Seam Sealer Products, Application Techniques
Practice, practice, practice. And then more practice. I did the brush method with on my firewall with the 3M and wish I practiced it more. But that is indeed the way to go.

Re: Seam Sealer Products, Application Techniques
I use 3M Fast n Firm Beige #08505 with an acid brush as well... it works great, levels out well, and looks very good.

Re: Seam Sealer Products, Application Techniques
The brush technique needs to be done in one fluid motion.
the less you work it the better it will look.

Re: Seam Sealer Products, Application Techniques
Mark, My camera and pictures are with my 69 Camaro at the shop that is installing misc patch panels.
I will be sealing/resealing MANY areas of car. One major area that shows will be trunk floor to inner wheel house. I have several of the "soft" packages of 08515 Fast n' Firm and the special 3M Hand Gun and nozzles that apply it. I've had this product for years, and while I can still squeeze it inside package, I'm wanting to know if I need to be concerned about shelf life????? Thanks to all,

Re: Seam Sealer Products, Application Techniques
If it is still pliable I wouldnt worry too much about non visible areas... however if sealing visible areas I would use a brand new tube.
