Leveling seam sealer w/ dispenser?

[Rice Nuker]

I have searched a number of threads but cannot find reference to a self leveling seam sealer which comes complete with dispenser / applicator doo-dad.

I am looking for 2 - part epoxy type preferably thick as molasses but still self leveling.

Doing my drip rails. I cleaned them out with thin wire wheel, sand blasted them bare and epoxied them. So they are ready for sealer.

Thank you!

1968, how would a person get the stuff out of the tube?

Does it have a push piston? It looks like I still would need an apparatus to push / dispense the product..

Maybe I was not clear enough. I prefer not to buy a 50 - 150 (actually the basic dispenser for this product is 200+) dollar manufacturer specific "caulk gun" on top of the price of the product. I am guessing that for even distribution and "flow" I am going to have to get a "system" including the "caulk gun".

If that is the case, what is the most economical way to get this seam sealer application accomplished?

Thank you.

That will complicate things a bit. Most of these 2 part seam sealers 3m or Fusor will require their gun.

One thing you could try is going to a local body shop and asking if you could rent one or buy a used one. I know at my shop we have at least 10 of the damn things laying around.

Yeah, you're looking at $50+ for one of those dual piston guns. I can also tell you that trying to dispense the product through a mix tip without the proper gun is a bad idea.

As suggested, I'd look into borrowing or renting one from a shop. I have a friend in the supply biz and he was able to hook me up when I've needed one. By the way, I've tried different products and found Lord Fusor #129 worked best for me on the drip rail.

Well, this got reviews that I can live with. Mostly complaints about it being runny.

Nice thing is designed to run thru a normal caulk gun. The chambers are in the single tube.

Any opinions or alternate suggestions of similar setup?

I have a SEM gun and FYI they won't work with all twin tubes.

I did mine with Epoxy and no seam sealer.

Use acetone with a rag or your finger to smooth the seam sealer. Works fine

Whether a one or two part product, if it's at all runny you will not have a good experience - trust me.

Jos suggested I try to get a deal some how. I have a friend works for 3m in another industry. Now, I am trying to get him to get me a deal on a dispenser. The basic unit is 55 bucks + shipping which seems astronomical so I shall see what the result is from the "bro deal" angle.

I appreciate all the responses.
