Sikaflex
Is Sikaflex available in DIY stores under another name ? I can't keep running down to CBS and it would be nice to have some for tomorrow anyway.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Good motor factors should have it. If they don't stock Sikaflex ask for TigerSeal or just Polyurethane adhesive.
My local factor stocks PUflex.

I used this stuff:
http://www.marinemastics.com/marine-flex.html
Data sheet has it comparable to Sika 291, miles cheaper... works too!

It might also be worth looking in Caravan places if there's one near you, as they sometimes stock it as well.
There's a Caravan place near me which I use when I run out and need some there are then. More expensive though

Builders merchants often stock Evo products that work very well, "Sticks like S**t" works for me, but they do do others as well. HTH

Edit to add, Evo "Serious Stuff" is another that is good.

Clear silicone is the stongest stuff if not visable as its very strong and still flexible. make sure its solvent based though for a clean strong
bond.
My window in transit is held in with clear silicon.

We used Loctite 5222 white (also available in black and grey I believe), very similar; been fine for nearly 8 years now.

Kris - please take the window out and get it bonded in properly. Windows in modern vehicles form part of the structure hence are bonded in. If its not
bonded in - you've potentially got a seriously weakened structure and could find yourself in a lot of trouble if you ever need it.

Hi Folks
Just to say Honda dealers use Sikaflex221 for bonding panels etc together. The Honda part number is 07SIKAFLEX221HE and sells for about £14 a
tube.....hope this helps.
You've turned into your dad the day you put aside a thin piece of
wood specifically to stir paint with.
