[TR] Fo8 Sealants Question and List Responses

[glewis999]

Dum Dum was used as a non-setting sealant between body panels and as a seam sealer. It is no longer available here in the UK, thanks, I think, to EU rules.Graham

Huh.  I worked for a VW dealer in Atlanta, and we used plenty of Dumdum.  I always figured it was a slang term, as I never saw the box it came in.

What I call Dumdum was sheets of wax paper with eight or so rods of
soft, semi-sticky sealant like modeling clay side by side.    Looked
like a box of skinny black pencils.
