OK, I guess that would make sense then. I just don't want my job to look
like (in a couple of years) what I took off. It was the classic example of
"if a little is good, a lot is better" and really looked trashy--with little
splotches of zinc chromate mixed in where it hadn't flaked off yet.
Steve ... why not just paint over the sealant?
PRC is paintable....

I prime the firewal, bending the little tab out from inside the engine mount=
bracket, making sure I get primer in there, then, bend the tabs back, paint
the firewall. After masking off the area around the mounting bracket, I pa=

and zinc chromate looking brackets, I put high temp RTV in the gap around th=

engine mount bracket, being careful to make a nice pretty fillet.
