A Sealant Specifically for Visual Definition Seams
Designed specifically to seal exterior auto body definition seams such as roof drip rails and coach joints, our 3M™ Heavy Drip-Chek™ Sealer features a non-sagging heavy-based formula combined with controlled shrinkage after application for airtight, UV-resistant seams. The light gray sealer adheres well to any common automotive surface including metal, primer, painted metal, rubber, glass and more. It resists moisture, weather and ultraviolet rays as well as chemicals from oil or gasoline. This sealer is ideal for minimal dripping when applied, right from the tube, to vertical seams.
