Gap filler

Post by Yozza »

Hello,
Before I reach for the screwfix catalogue, what do you fellas use for filling in and around small gaps between panels (inside and out) before being painted?
Cheers,

For the seams between panels Tiger seal is good.

For outside seams I have used this -
3M Drip-Chek Body Sealer
For narrow vertical seams or cracks of 2mm - 3mm wide, to give a firm but flexible seal which
will not harden, shrink or crack. Self levelling and self-seeking, but will not slump on vertical
surfaces. Can be smoothed with a wet finger, and painted.
• Easy to apply.
• Quick drying.
• Remains flexible but firm.
• Petrol, oil and water resistant.
