Halfords Black goo

[nickb]

I'm sure one day while surfing on LEC I see a post mentioning a black silicon Goo Halfords sold, I think there was even a picture of the packet but I can't seem to find it anymore?<br><br>Am I going mad, or just very bad at finding things<br><br>Nick

Try searching by "sikaflex" that's the brand name of the real McCoy.  I'm assuming you're alluding to Halfrauds equivalent.

Thanks Sy.<br><br>I need  it to fill the channel that is filled with a black rubbery substance down both sides of the windscreen.<br><br>I presume Sikaflex will be ok for this????

[Enright]

Do you mean Halfords Black Silicone Sealer? I think a 40g tube costs about £2. It's in a 6" long green tube with a white cap.<br><br>If you need I can send a pic.

Sikaflex comes in a variety of guises. IIRC it's the black marine sealant you need with a combination of 2s and 1s in its title.<br><br>Anyone?<br><br>That said, the Halfords equivalent is much cheaper.

[nickb]

that's the one, I knew I hadn't dreamed it.<br><br>Nick

[nickb]

sorry, yes please enright as my local Halfrauds doesn't seem to stock it.<br><br>Nick

just a few to be going on with.....the one SY awas on about is 221 but if you cant get that then 291 is it new uprated version...failing that I reckon that 90% of these sikaflex products are useable for 'land' application

I remember reading a post where clingfilm was used to deal with Sakiflex when patching your seals but i can't remember how it was used. A&m

Andy, try typing "clingfilm" into the search box and you'll find posts like this!
