I have a pair of depos that i have opened up to make them smoked depos.
I have painted the inner-section but just wondering what to seal them back up with?
Would normal clear sealant be ok, or something stronger?
Cheers mark

I put them in the oven for about ten min each, then just got a screw driver and prised them apart. A lot easier than i thought really lol
Have taken some pics of us doing it so will get them posted soon

we had it on quite a low heat, think it was about 130. We left the oven door open most of the time so we could keep an eye on them. Then kept taking them out trying to pull them apart, putting them back if for a bit longer etc.
