Hello Lloyd. I do believe there is a product for just the application you want. Mar-hyde made a Fast Drip Check Sealer (#7001) that is designed to flex and be paintable. No need for primer... this stuff goes over bare metal. Use *flexible* paintable primer on top, and then paint (either by brush or spray if you wish). Excert from the box: ..... fast curing, fast setting seam sealer that adheres to all surfaces, skins in 2 - 3 minutes, and is paintable in 30 minutes. Self-leveling properties makes tool marks and edges disappear. Excellent for stopping all types of water and wind leaks. .... Final set is very tough and elastic - will not crack or peel I've used this a few years ago now without any problems reoccurring. I purchased this stuff from an auto body supply store... I believe it was $10 or so CDN. Hope this helps. Harry. > Procedure for dealing with seam rust in Vanagons. > > After cleaning, reaming, scaping, filing, expropriating, What Do You Do > Next?
