undersealing and engine insulation

Post by bowesy »

im going to be undersealing my van over next few weeks and in wondering if it is beta to brush it on or get the spray cans and do it that way and is it worth taking the insulation/padding that is fitted where the engine is some of it has come down and i was going to glue it back but wondering if take it off and protect the metal before refitting
thanks dave

spray it. i did mine the other day in an hour or so. bought the underseal from machine mart, my old man has the gun and a compressor, the gun is £20 so all you will have to do is get the loan of a compressor. left the 3 tins in the boot of the car when it was warm and it sprayed perfectly.

i have a compressor so i think i will just have to get the gun and spray it sounds easier than brushing it

without a doubt. i would warm the cans in warm water to make it flow better ( or use the boot of the car :D ). i just masked the lips of the wheel arches and across the body in a straight line as i have done the outer sills as well. if you do get any on the paint then white spirit gets it off. 4 cans will be loads and machine mart schutz is only £4.50 ish a can.
