What do you guys use to replace the sticky dough like material that was used in the tailights bolts washers on your mustang. I have a 72 but I am sure that the black dough like product was used on several years of the mustang. Also what do you use for headliner padding on the 71-73. I am putting her back together and these are the main holdups. Thanks

 

bedding and glazing compound

 

What does it look like when its out of the tube and does it get hard. Man thats a loaded question. LOL

 

BTW I am talking about the material used on the bolts and nuts that is a rubber like washer but it actually a dough like seal. Thanks

 

It could be 3M strip caulk. i'm not sure though. This is what I used on my tail lights.

the bedding and glazing never gets hard that what seals the windsheild and rear window seals on cars with gaskets like 65-68 its also used for the water shield behind door panels etc its

you could use the strip caulk too, but i like the bedding cause its easy to use and works in a lot of different places

 

Yep the strip calk was what I was looking for. Thanks. Now what do you guys recommend to use as a modern pad under the headliner and under the rear window area. Thanks

 

I remember using the bedding/glazing stuff on my front and rear windows.

 

if you're looking fro rubbery/doughy sealant (i haven't seen that in my taillights) you can always use the rubber strips that modern cars have under their fenders. You should get a full meter for a few bob.
sincde I don't know the english name for it, it might well be what rmodel is talking about. we simply called it chewing gum

 

Yeah I used the stuff in the plants back in the day and we called it donkey dick because it came in big rolls and looked like a black donkey dick.
