Processing of body sealant (paintable) before painting - AR97.10-P-0500-02SX

When replacing sheet attached parts (doors, trunk lid, etc.) and also body parts welded in place, carefully seal the folds and openings with body sealant in order to avoid corrosion and leaks. Seal spot weld seams and rivets on both sides.

Observe following procedure:

1. Carefully clean affected body parts.
2. Apply sealant uniformly.
3. Spread body sealant evenly.
4. Maintain drying time (paintable).

Always clean brushes, wooden spatulas, etc., used for spreading body sealant, with naphtha.

If these objects are cleaned with paint thinner or other alcoholic liquids before applying the body sealant, the sealant does not cure and remains sticky.
