When it comes to performance, 3M OEM Match Epoxy Seam Sealers excel. They form a durable seal with no shrinkage, cracking, or outgassing, ensuring a high-quality finish. These sealers are specifically formulated to adhere to properly prepared bare metal, in accordance with OEM repair guidance.

It is important to note that 3M recommends applying all seam sealers, including direct-to-metal seam sealers, over a 2K primer. 3M OEM Match Epoxy Seam Sealer is specifically designed for application over bare steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, 2K urethane primer, 2K Epoxy primer, or cleaned and prepped OEM finishes. It should never be in direct contact with acid etch primers.
Before applying the seam sealer, it is essential to properly prepare the surface. This involves washing the surface with an appropriate VOC-compliant product to remove any surface contaminants. Bare metal surfaces should be sanded with an appropriate 3M 50-180 grit abrasive, while previously painted and primed surfaces should be scuffed with a Scotch-Brite General Purpose Hand Pad.
