Brushable seam sealer wot works

[PeterZRH]

I've go a bit of long-term project to deodorize my P6 as my wife hates the smell.

A big part of this is replacing the soundproofing materials such as the old jute and foam. Another part is removing the bitumen which is in the sound-deadening tiles, - this can be replaced by modern butyl products which don't smell. The old anti-vibration tiles of course don't actually work if they dry-out and come unstuck anyway.

The final part is replacing the bucketload of seam sealer which I assume is also bitumen based and is surely applied quickly in totally unnecessary quantities - surely it just needs to cover the seam to stop water getting in?

Anyway I need a reliable non-smelly sealer. I've read some bad stories so I'd appreciate a recommend.

Alternatively, would several thick-ish layers of epoxy paint along the seam do the same job?

Just have a look on this site :

To use i.e. Brantho Korrux 3in1 without a sealant, I would not recommend. I bought Korroflex to use with the brush, but if you do not have the correct brush, you get crazy. Use Korroflex with the cartridge and it´s so easy and can be easily painted.
I have the same problem, my car smelled like old socks and not like an English car should smell. Ok, it had a water problem, but this cannot be the only problem. I smelled on the Jute, but this smells ok. Big problem was the carpet. As soon as this woolen carpet gets water, it starts stinking. Removed all carpet from the passenger´s side (where water came in from the heater), now it´s better, but not perfect. At the moment, I have a cup with coffee powder in the car, now it smells like old socks with coffee flavour.

I have used Sikaflex 227 for the body seams on one of my Volkswagens. I used this to replace the dried out bitumen seam sealer. It's also good to use as an adhesive for bonding down vibration/noise material. Dries very quickly too.
