HVAC Box

[fraido2002]

For those of you who have pulled your ac/heater box, I purchased a new gasket from mikesmontes. What type of sealant if any do i need to apply to it. Do I need to put a bead all the way around before i put the gasket on, or do I put some sort of seam sealer around the outside after I put it back together(which is what it looked like the factory did.) I really don't want to go through all this work and have my firewall leak. Any tips/advice would be helpful.

I'm a big fan of 3M Strip-Calk.

Are there any other ideas out there besides strip caulk. Like i said i have a new gasket. I was thinking just some sort of seam sealer around the outer edge, that seems like what the factory did.

For the outside edge, use 3M professional grade seam sealer....keep your finger wet as you smooth it along and Itll look killer!
