sikaflex (translatation requested)
I've seen sikaflex mentioned in several posts - must be a product trade name that I'm not familiar with.
Does anybody know the US term for it?
Sorry I'm not totally bilingual,

Sikaflex = polyurethane sealant
Comes in one of those tubes that you put in a gun and squeeze the handle.
Better than silicone, as it's stronger, stickier, and doesn't give off corrosive fumes (acetic acid) as it dries.
Downside is that it's a bit more expensive.

Bought my Sikaflex from a DIY store in San Francisco for about $ 5.00 a tube. I thought it was an american product??

I've also used
Tiger Seal
Granville PU flex
..which seemed to do the job just as well. Bit like bathroom sealant except it's sticky.
