Re: hi top--tiger seak, silkoflex
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
