I was looking at a thread within the last week that talked about the black stuff you would use to do rear wheel wells and some seams. It was black and thick looking, there where a couple of photos showing the texture of this black stuff but I can't find the thread, any help would be great.
Thanks, Chris

try a search for 'lord fusor'.

Search for "sound deadener" (undercoating is something done at the dealership ;) as well as a visit to the library would likely provide some options
- Sound Deadener and Seam Sealer- Reproducing/Repairing is posted in all sub(year) sections
Which ever way you choose plan to by extra (especially the Lord Fuson) and practice before you do the real thing. Have seen some ugly Lord Fuson applications lately. Its about product and technique ;)

Jeff, do you like the Spectrum Sludge stuff, did it hold up well? Do you still use it? Would you recommend it?
Thanks Chris

I would still use it today - but would try spraying it also - at least for the final coat. Still like the brush for the texture and build up - provides ALLOT of additional control IMHO.
We've had good reports from other member that were able to shot the stuff and believe in the long run its cheaper in volume that the other products
As always - test and play around a bit before the final attempt on the car. I built corners and panels that matched the same angles - horizontal and vertical to see how it would flow and look before I tackled the car. Didn't have to try/practice more than once as it worked pretty much - exactly like I expected it to
Hope the stuff is around for a while. Always seems that once you find something that works they stop making it for one reason or another
Of course it's best never to remove the original sound deadener in the first place if you can ;)

Thanks , Jeff. Major sheetmetal work means redoing everything. You know the drill. Talked to Eric at Spectrum, Very nice and helpful.

Never talked to the makers - was the employee surprised at all with what we were using it for? It was designed as an acoustical product for the boom boxes on wheels ::)
