seam sealer and body panel adhesive? on brands

[brans72]

I ran by the autobody suppy shop today to do some looking what I could buy local. They had some 3M seam sealer called fit fast I believe and 3 different body panel adhesives one was a 3M,other 2 where Speed Grip and Duramix. I was wondering if anyone here could help me out on which ones to buy. Thanks Brandon

I like the 3M panel adhesive really works great, I believe it's 8115.

Yeah worth the like 35 bucks? Figured buy local save on shiping not to mention get it that day!

I've also used the 3M 8115 with good results. I also use their two part seam sealers. They have thick bodied one and a self leveling one. The gun can be expensive but they have a lower cost one at autobodytoolmart.com

We use the Kent products, there self leveling seam sealers are great and thier adhesive system works better than the 3M they have a 5 minute, 15 minute and 45 minute set.

Kent huh maybe I need to do some local checking on them got any product #'s you have used? Brandon

Flex-E-6000 seam sealer, Part#
P-10491
Panel Adhesive/sealer
P-10638
We use the Flexible foam part # 8463 to replace the factory material between hood panel/ bracing Roof panel to roof braces between quarters and wheel houses etc. It works good as a anti rattle and sealer. It also does not dry hard. it stays flexible and repells water

dang I need to find a gun to borrow from someone or rent it for a short period of time.

In the body shop I worked we used Fusor for adhesive and 3M for seam sealer.
As a test we took 2 1sq foot pieces of patch panel and bonded them together with a 1" overlap then clamped them up in the frame rack and pulled them apart. Fusor was the only one that the metal ripped before the bond separated.
