Today, Dad and I tried out installing new weatherstripping on my doors. It was definitely a challenge and we learned A LOT (as always).

I did the weather stripping on my Mustang not too long ago. Learned many of the same lessons you did as well. It was very messy. One thing I did was use painters tape to help hold parts of the stripping in place as I worked my way around. I was doing it all myself and did not have a helper.

Good job. Weather strip adhesive is never a fun job. Gloppy drippy glue. What I learned from my dad whose a retired professional mechanic of over 50yrs. (26yrs in myself) lay out the weather strip to make sure you know the orientation and have the correct strip for the door. An extra set of hands like you had working together is beneficial but not always necessary. Start out applying the glue to the weather stripping no more than about 12” to 16”and then lay and hold the glued section in place and depending on how warm it is?? Usually just a couple of minutes, carful lift the weather stripping up an inch or two, you don’t have to pull up the entire 12” to 16” section, you can work your way down it. But when you lift it up a little you will see the glue “string” a little, that is perfect. Now all you have to do is just sit the weather stripping back into place. It sounds more complicated than it is writing it out. In practice it’s very simple and easy and saves tooling the glue and putting glue on both parts. Great job guys, this job is kind of a pain in the behind!!!

In Australia we now call what you correctly refer to as a nozzle a "thingy". Signs are placed near sealants telling people "Don't forget your thingy" so that we remember to pick one up. Apart from using a thingy there is no easy way to do this job, the video you referred to on the 3M site is stage managed to make it look easy and perfect. I have to be honest and say I have never heard of the baby powder idea. Good work Carl is now signed, sealed, and we are just waiting for delivery. This has been a great adventure for you and Matt.

@JS-Galaxie500 28 күн бұрын

I just did this on a 64 Galaxie. The only advice I can give is squeeze the adhesive into a small pot and then use a half inch craft brush to brush a thin layer onto both surfaces, then wait longer than you think you should for it to tack up. Do 12-18 inches at a time…. another pair of hands would have been useful too.

You show some good tips. You are correct to use the bigger tube so you get the small tip for application. Also I have used seals that already have the powder on them. They came from Germany for a VW I was working on. The powder is a great idea. Also an FYI, you can and I do put powder in my hands before putting on the nitrile gloves. It makes it a lot easier to put them on.

Another job well done. Just remember it's great to use books and videos as guides but there is more than one way to do any task, it's up to you to find the way that works for you. Just because your way is different to someone else's, doesn't make it wrong. As long as the end result is the same that's all that matters.

@kevinbrown1368 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Ellie great video as usual- three comments- Falcon Parts is a great supplier for the correct quality parts for Falcons and Comets. With weatherstripping, use a make-up brush to apply the baby powder or use cornstarch which is what baby powder is these days. Finally, you should do a short call-out at the end of each video for what you are going to do next with Carl and solicit advice before you do it! Love the work you and your dad are doing- keep it up!

Tried RTV tube in a decoratots gun on my old Honda but it didn't stick, however i just applied it to the framework. So Plan B was double sided tape and this worked for me. Bare in mind there are plastic clips also on the framework that attach to the holes in the stripping. And the big problem here in Yorkshire has been incessant rain , hardly any dry days for months probably not helped as they never been 100 per cent dry.

Thought comes to mind. If you waited 2 years to pit on the weatherstripping. Maybe you could have waited a little longer and ordered the same tube of glue used on the 3M video? Looks amazing!

@ElliesGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Ha! Too true. It was one of those things where we didn't realize the need for the nozzle until we actually started putting it on, and unfortunately we are shooting our episodes pretty much just before we post them, so there isn't a lot of time to stop and make a new plan. It's not a good way to work and we're working to get a bit more of a pad of episodes so we can take a bit more time with things. Thanks for coming along on the journey!

I wipe the weather stripping first with lacquer thinner to remove the release agent. Then using an acid brush, I brush the glue onto the seal and door a section at a time then press them together. Using an acid brush makes it so much easier to spread the glue, it covers more area and uses less material than squeezing the tube of glue directly onto the parts. Keep the acid brush in a small container of lacquer thinner when not in use to prevent the glue from drying. You may have to pull the glue off the brush from time to time to remove the globs of glue that collects on the bristles.

Ive been there too. Worse off working by my self. Ive made the same mess; and haven't been happy following the directions on the tube. Only to be disappointed later when it fell off. Somehow the factory did it differently. There has to be an easier way; especially in the 60's mass production assembly line. Perhaps there's someone out there that did that for a living that can share their knowledge. Anyhow, Thank You for sharing your experience and Im glad it all worked out. How did you clean up the excess glue without damaging the new paint?

@ElliesGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the encouragement! There weren't too many places where it was kind of visible. We were either able to clean it up with some windex and gentle fingernail picking, decided to live with it, or maybe considering trying later to soften it gently with a heat gun to see if we can remove some spots. Honestly, I'll probably just live with the little areas where you can see some adhesive. 😀

@johnstelluto9101 2 жыл бұрын

@@ElliesGarage Nice work, Ellie, on the weather stripping. I was wondering if you put down a strip of painter's tape along the door with a gap the same width as the weatherstrip, you could apply the glue within that gap. Once the glue and weatherstrip were applied, just peal away the tape and any mess!

Next time you may want to go try some sort painters tape and lay out two stripes of painters tape on each side of where the Grove is for the weather stripes then apply the glue on the top of the painters tape then the weather stripes while waiting for the tackyness of the glue then slowly peel off the painters tape. See if that helps you out. If your not able to get the big tube of the glue with the skinny nozzle. Make sure you don't get a painters tape have heavy sticky side. Try to get very low sticky painters tape. So you won't take a chance of peeling off your fresh paint. Even though been cured.

Opposite viewpoint. Black RTV is Horrible to work with. Doesn’t matter how careful you are, it is messy and intrusive. Gets all over everything and doesn’t clean well. A good quality weatherstripping doesn’t need adhesives, it fits snug enough alone.
