Windscreen sealer

Tigerseal

Maybe try a dab of Anusol ?

Excellent. A motor factor who also does car paint etc should stock it? Any idea of cost?

First hit on the big G;

Lean on your local motorfactors to get a bit more reasonable.

or just bath sealant from b n q.

Tigerseal is not the non setting gunge that you want, tigerseal is a 'setting' polyurethane sealer and adhesive!

the stuff you want is called , oddly, windscreen sealer as opposed to the windscreen adhesive used to bond modern glass, have a look thru the yellow pages for a local independant windscreen company or try a decent motor factor

Neil - Usenet ( snipped-for-privacy@SPAMblueyonder.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

No. No, no, no.

Ordinary domestic silicon sealant has a lovely habit of eating acidic byproducts as it cures, eating through the steel very effectively.

Except Tigerseal's a seam sealant. I know, because I use the stuff. It definately sets, and it's not designed for windscreen fitting.

Missed the non setting bit, its not designed for a lot of things ;-). but if you need to agressively bond something its got a lot to commend it

& if you ring round for a bit it's one of those jobs that the bloke who does it for a living turns out to be really good value for money (the only other ones I've found are plasterers & farmers)

You can get non setting windscreen mastic from I imagine pretty much any decent motor factors.

Having tried the two local large ones, no. I was offered a silicone based stuff, though.

3m windscreen sealant. type 08509

dont know about that, but it has been used many times on varied cars and ages, and never was there a corrosion issue, infact it stopped a bit that was already present on one motor.

That seems to be the stuff - thanks. And lots of other goodies too. ;-)

Alternatively, Arbomast. I got mine from Charles Pugh at Pinxton.

Thanks. Never read that group. I take it it's good? ;-)
