3M Auto Bedding and Glazing Compound, 08509, 1/10 gal Cartridge

used this stuff under the "bead lock" type of auto glass rubber, as a extra measure of protection against leaks.....chevy's never leak and rust out the window channel.... :( a lot of rust repair, sanding, 3 layers of por 15, then this gunk before the window seal...never will leak again for many moons... be careful, this stuff is messy, uses gloves doens't really harden, just stays "icky" and sticky

did great the job needed

I don't know how many of you have used this product for bedding a windshield in an old car, but those that have would agree that it is messy but effective. An old mechanic friend of mine once told me "you could be talking on the phone with someone while you were using it and it would get all over THEM too!". It cleans up with mineral spirits and soapy water, which took longer than it did to put in the windshield and back glass on my 57 Ford.

1960's fords, maybe other manufacturers, used a rubber gasket with this bedding compound to seal against leaks. This 3m product is non hardening and can be cleaned off with mineral spirits without hurting your paint. If your initial installation still leaves leaks, you can peel back the rubber and squeeze more in (both inside and out). As a final measure you fill in the Crack where the stainless meets the body. Clean up with mineral spirits.

I use this mainly under rubber gaskets on auto glass. The gaskets seal out the water. This stuff has the property of not drying out, so temperature changes won't affect the sealing. It can be removed with mineral spirits which is a rather good thing since it is messy to apply. It will get everywhere. You can get it on yourself by just looking at. It may be a little stiff in the tube on cold days. Heating the tube to 110-120 F in an electric oven will improve the flow. Be careful around open flames (read this as a gas oven) try not to set your oven on fire. All in all a good sealing product. It is black in color.

About halfway through the job the back of the tube gave way inside my caulk gun, ruining the gun and making me have to scoop the rest out of the bottom with a popsicle stick. It was a total mess and I’m out a perfectly good gun. Otherwise the product was exactly what I needed. I guess I can’t blame the seller either. It was just a very crappy experience.

A must for old school windshield replacements I found that carefully heating this with a toaster oven. it will spread much easier. Make sure you are watching the product while doing this. This can also be used for other sealing around the auto. instead of dumb dumb. I would buy again

Redid all the weatherstripping ony 84 corvette. All the retainers were bent around the windshield. Some research said instead of attempting to find the 3M double-sided tape, that this could be used in its place with the fasteners to give a tight seal. Happy to report it's been a few months and no leaks

Excellent Product, excellent service by the seller, highly recommended

Very happy with the product, easy to apply, provided a great windshield seal.
