Paintable after Skin Forms for Improved Appearance
3M™ Polyurethane Sealant 540 (PDF, 371.52 Kb) offers an alternative to mechanical fasteners and can replace rivets in some applications. It will bond dissimilar substrates and a wide selection of materials. This will perform in temperatures ranging from -40°F/-40°C to 194°F/90°C. Once skin forms (60-90 minutes), the sealant can be painted to improve the final finish.

Polyurethane sealants provide strong, flexible durable elastomeric bonds that seal against the elements.
