3M 8365 Beige 1‑Component Seam Sealer 310 mL Cartridge – 24 hr Cure, Paintable After 30 min
Built for the job.
Our 3M™ urethane seam sealer is a high solids seam sealer ideal for sealing automotive and RV seams and joints. It adheres well to bare metal, primed metal and painted surfaces and if desired can be smoothed to a featheredge and/or brushed. Tack-free and paintable after 30 to 45 min, this urethane formula is…
3M 08365 is a single-component, paste-type seam sealer supplied in a 310 mL cartridge. It is formulated for sealing panel seams and joints prior to filler application, providing a flexible barrier that prevents moisture ingress and improves adhesion of subsequent coatings.
The sealer cures to full strength within 24 hours at ambient temperatures ranging from 25 °F to 180 °F, allowing rapid shop turnaround. Its low VOC content of 9.8 lb/gal meets most environmental regulations while delivering consistent coverage on aluminum, bare metal, and primed substrates. The paste consistency ensures easy extrusion and uniform bead placement across complex seam profiles.
Due to its classification as an acute toxicant, carcinogen, and skin corrosive, appropriate personal protective equipment-gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator-is required during handling. Use in well-ventilated areas and follow the SDS first-aid procedures for inhalation, skin contact, eye exposure, or ingestion.

How to Use
For sealing of seams to prevent intrusion of water, dust, air, fumes, may be used for interior or exterior seams of primer coated substrates
- Clean the substrate (aluminum, bare metal, or primer) to remove oil, grease, and loose material; dry thoroughly.
- Verify ambient temperature is between 25 °F and 180 °F before application.
- Apply a uniform bead of the 1-component seam sealer directly from the cartridge; shape as needed with a spreader or putty knife.
- If additional thickness is required, apply a second coat after the first has reached initial set (typically within a few minutes).
- Allow the sealant to cure for 24 hours before sanding, priming, or applying topcoat.
