Hi all,

I have sourced dumdum in Winnipeg and have a decent supply.  A box cost me
about $10 if I recall.  It is a plastiscene like material that does not
harden, and is used under the washer of a nut/bolt/washer combo to prevent
moisture.  Any time you remove a bolt and there is a white gummy stuff, that
is what it is.  It works well.

Moat of the other seams can be done with "flexible seam sealer", that is,
seams between floor and rocker, etc.  Its use in holding fenders on was
common, but those who have used the new product lately have complained about
shrinkage and/or cracking.  Perhaps our body guys are using it wrong, or
maybe the modern stuff doesn't like all the chassis flex that we"ignore"
