2. Spray sealant
Part number 116 1651 is a spray body sealant which restores the vehicle in production-like condition after body work. The sealant can be applied in bead or sprayed in a thin layer with a spray gun, it is also easy to apply with a brush. When applying in a bead, this type of sealant is very difficult to rework since the sealant has a loose consistency. It is possible to paint over the sealant and it hardens approx. 3 mm per 24 h.
