Subject:Re: repairing seam rust

I just bought some 'Corroless' rust convertor from Eastwood company, I've
used the stuff before and have liked it. I also bought some beige seam
sealer that they had. Hopefully that will match my beige van.

I plan on carefully digging the old sealer out, without messing up the
surronding paint.   Carefully brush the Corroless in.   Let it dry a few
days. Put the beige seam sealer on. Use some touchup paint to blend it all
in. I have about 2- 24 inch sections to do.

Previous posters have used a utilty knife to dig the old sealer out.  It is
like removing house caulk I presume.
