3M OEM Match Epoxy Seam Sealers are specially designed to provide quick cure times and non-sag properties, making them ideal for vertical applications. These seam sealers also offer the advantage of allowing top coating with paint in as little as 15 minutes. By reducing the potential for rework and increasing throughput in the body shop, these fast-curing sealers help save time and improve efficiency.
One of the key features of 3M OEM Match Epoxy Seam Sealers is their corrosion inhibitors, which help protect the repaired area from future damage. This ensures a long-lasting and durable repair.
These two-part sealants are versatile and can be applied using various methods such as caulking, tooling, brushing, or spraying. This allows for the replication of a wide range of OEM seam sealer beads, including those found on door skins, floor pans, trunk floors, roof seams, and many others. To achieve the best results, it is recommended to use 3M OEM Match Seam Sealer tips, which help replicate the appearance of factory seam sealer beads.
When applied, 3M OEM Match Epoxy Seam Sealers form a strong and durable seal that does not shrink, crack, or outgas. They are specifically formulated to adhere to properly prepared bare metal surfaces, in accordance with OEM repair guidance. This makes them suitable for use on bare steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, 2K urethane primer, 2K epoxy primer, or cleaned and prepped OEM finishes.
For a seamless match to common OEM colors, these seam sealers are available in black, beige, white, and gray. Their non-flowing, medium-bodied formula allows for easy tooling, ensuring a seamless appearance that matches the original OEM seam sealer.
It is important to note that 3M recommends applying all seam sealers, including direct-to-metal seam sealers, over a 2K primer. Additionally, acid etch primers should never come into direct contact with seam sealers. To prepare the surface for application, it is recommended to wash it with an appropriate VOC-compliant product to remove 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.
