Hi All

I have just been through the "soak off the Swedish underseal with diesel" trial. The wings on my 65 were blathered in OE underseal which must have been 5mm thick. So into a vat of diesel they went. After a week for each wing this is how they turned out. Warts n all! I did think of repainting the missed painted bits...but decided not to. The factory did not paint all the underside of the wings! Does this mean on concours that completely painted underside of the wings of a Beetle will lose points?:?: :?:

Ps They are now fully coated with Techtyl. "the thinking man's waxoyl!" Hence the runs!  P1000431.JPG You have insufficient rights to see the content.  P1000427.JPG You have insufficient rights to see the content.  P1000432.JPG You have insufficient rights to see the content.  P1000428.JPG You have insufficient rights to see the content.

awesome :thumbup: its a very satisfying operation, obviously the underseal did its thing,

For anyone out there who needs a soaking vat. I have fibre glass diesel soaking contraption designed for wings ( they need turning) available FOC.

Collection only as its quite large.:p 😛

Looking good:thumbup:

can I ask where did you buy the tectyl from? is it tectyl 506? I cannot find it easily.

You aren´t meant to drink it.

Car looks amazingly clean.
