Review on 🖤 3M Strip Calk: Premium Black 1 ft Strips – Bulk Pack of 60 by Wayne Laguna

I LOVE THIS MATERIAL! I'm preparing my 1995 Honda Del Sol for a custom paint job so obviously I want to make sure everything else on the car is near perfect. If you know anything about Del Sol, you know they have leakage issues in both the Targa's top and trunk. I removed the sail covers from the car behind the Targa's roof and found (as it should be) that a buildup of silt had clogged the drain holes and the seals around the clamps had dried out and were leaking into the barrel. I used strip lime around each attachment point and caulked everything, then cleaned the drain. The problem is solved. I also removed the top of the targa and inserted a piece of string into the channel of the gasket (to seal the gasket against the roof panel) and then attached the cord with strip lime. No more leaks inside. I also made the mistake of breaking a tab off a piece of plastic fairing that goes into another piece of fairing. The insert is not repairable AND not for sale (given the age of the car). No problem. I added a small piece of strip-calc to the edge of the pad, pressed firmly and trimmed away the excess so you can't see the repair. Ideal! If I need to remove a piece it's easy, but it doesn't fall apart and I can always repeat the Strip Calk solution. Strip Calk stays sticky forever so you have to be careful where you use it, but for sealing leaks and repairing cracks in a 23 year old hard to find seal it's perfect! (As long as you can use it on the hidden surface of the seal. This stuff sticks to everything, so you can't use it in place of the seal where it might touch a door, for example, but you CAN use it to reattach the seal to the metal attachment points or to seal cracks in a gasket.) I find many situations where Strip Calc solves a problem that I couldn't solve any other way. Example: The Del Sol door panel has a deep countersunk screw so your screw can easily fall out of the screwdriver into the bottom of the door. If you're removing the door panel, it's no big deal, but if you've spent half an hour aligning and reinserting the plastic pins, and the final step, put a screw in the underside of the door. When assembling it is a big annoyance. However, the tiny dot of Strip Calk between the end of your Phillips screwdriver and the head of the screw ensures that the damn screw has nowhere else to go but a hole in the door panel. :) Works more reliably than a magnetized screwdriver. A lot of people complain that the strips either stick together or stick to the paper, but that's actually a minor issue. Of course you can get two strips if you want one, or if you tear off a strip the strip may break into several pieces. But remember, it's a piece of sealant. You can shape it into any shape you want. Be creative. Also, I've found that if you get your fingers wet before touching it, it won't stick to your fingers and you can manipulate it however you like. When the water dries, the seal will become tacky again, so don't worry. I always keep a spray bottle of tap water next to the packet of Strip-Calc. Working with old cars saves you heartache. take this stuff
