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,
Gap filler

Re: Gap filler
For the seams between panels Tiger seal is good.

Re: Gap filler
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.
