hi top--tiger seal, silkoflex

Post by Snag20 »

Collecting my high top this coming weekend to replace my pop top.

I understand that the high tops are usually just glued on

What bonding/sealing agent is the best to use ? silkoflex , tiger seal ??

I used Soudaflex for mine and sticking solar panels to the roof.(can't find it on ebay at present) there is this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EVERBUILD-PURAFLE ... 35a4f08f71 - cheaper than sikaflex and tigerseal.

Found the soudaflex here http://www.absealants.co.uk/product_27- ... x-40FC.htm

Hi, just for information my leisure drive has sikoflex and 2/3 screws each side too!


Hasn't come off yet, and we put it on there with Mocki's help!
