i pulled the carpet out of my 69 charger because i have a new replacement set. this is the original carpet, and although the car is just about to turn 19k original miles, the carpet has been deteriorating for many years. this is even while being a garage queen and not driven since at least 2006 or so. while scratching the floor pan with a wire brush by hand to get rid of some loose paint and leftover horse hair backing material, i hit several sections of seam sealer, and it fell off in large chunks, like it lost it's adhesion. [which of course it did !] i then used a hand scraper, and most of it came off by just touching it with the scraper. no effort needed whatsoever. what was used back then, and what would be a good replacement sealer to use ? TIA for the knowledge you folks have that i do not.

I love the 3M brushable sealers. dries nice and hard compared to other sealers that are more rubbery like. just use the brushable in a well ventilated area, you will get a buzz

You know, I might have some left.
Would need to check but I think I have an almost full quart can of a generic brush on that I didn't use, and cartridges of 3M urethane.
It'll probably all hit it's shelf life before I use it. Let me know if you need any.
You can have the brushable for free/I just didn't like working with it/nasty stuff. Prefer caulk tube cartridges.
I'd attempt to sell the 3m for whatever it was I paid off Amazon, 20 something apiece.
Rather do that than toss it a year from now.
