Seam sealer prior to painting bucket? Original Message Nov 23, 2011 12:06 pm
I'm spot sanding the bucket of my ST824. There are some areas that are in need of a filler, such as seams and welds. I know sharp edges are where paint tends to get thin and be the first place that paint will peel from.
I'm considering automotive seam sealer, but wonder if epoxy would do the trick as well. Maybe I'm being penny wise and pound foolish. I hate to buy a 14oz, caulking gun sized tube of seam sealer to use a tiny bit. I have some paintable epoxy on hand. I know you shouldn't use anything with silicone in it; paint won't stick.
