I'm in the process of removing all the old filling between the woodwork and the body. I was expecting to find Dum Dum i.e black and rubberish but this, once you scrape a bit away is grey and looks and feels a bit like putty.

What should be used as a sealant around the wood?

Thanks

Dum Dum ! de, dum, dum, la, la, la .....................................

Thank you kind sir - and whatever you're taking I'll have some

And he has the cheek to call 'Nurse' when I get out of bed - now here he is swinging from the light shade!

de,de dum dum de, de dum dum !!!!

Dum Dum seems to be the stuff everyone uses its non setting and fairly easy to apply.

My traveller had a mixture of dum dum, a non setting grey mastic strip (like the stuff used on the gearbox cover - looks a bit like grey blu tack (this was in neat strips around the wheel arches) and a plastic sealant like the old Bostic plastic sealant used for the roof guttering seal - this was on the rear timber mounts.

I think that the Dum Dum is the only modern equivalent available now.

I dont know what to use for the gutter seal and will probably use a cellulose filler built up in layers unless anyone knows of a better material??

I use roofing mastic on some of the joints.

Thanks all I've got the Dum Dum now and seems like this can be used everywhere. Whatever this grey non-setting stuff is - must be the same as Taupe is talking about. it is actually very nice soft filler and much easier to scrape out layers - getting Dum Dum off is a b*****

Gently warm the old dum dum with a hair dryer, should soften it enough to dig out

Nice - thanks for that tip Are you better this morning! la la la la

You win you loose it's a chance you have to take...." It a hard life....." The Works" which is more than you're doing watching other repair the cars when you're playing "tunes" on the computer

Aye ! cannot work atm, just had hand surgery so I'm off for a few months, bored already, so thought I'd have a play.
