Black Urethane: Used for sealing the windshields, not to fill holes
or other imperfections. Black urethane comes in a tube and it
applies much the same way as silicone. Clean up using solvents
such as paint thinner. Gloves are required as this material is
hazardous.
Silicone Sealant: Primarily used on the sidewalls where a hole has
been made and an item installed. This includes Windows, Doors,
Handles, Beltline Molding, Latches and around bases of items
surface mounted such as clearance lights. Old peeling sealant
should be removed. Avoid using metal utensils which can scratch
the painted surface. Use nylon sticks or equivalent. Avoid using
lacquer thinners or ketone based solvents as these chemicals can
damage the painted surfaces. Be sure the surface is clean and dry
before application. Cut the tube at an angle with smallest usable
opening. Avoid a heavy bead as a little goes a long way. Use finger
at a 45° angle on beaded surface to smooth out product. Do not
moisten finger, use a disposable latex glove. Keep rags or paper
towels handy for clean up. Use care when applying silicone. Plan
ahead before starting a bead, look for obstacles that may impede
application.
Spray Foam: Used as a sealant where a hole has been made for
items such as water lines or wires that are coming through a floor
opening.
