No need for exclamations, perhaps you need to verify your sources and do some more research? Why do I need to contact (them) whoever they are?

"ASA is produced by introducing a grafted acrylic ester elastomer during the copolymerization reaction between styrene and acrylonitrile. Hence it being called acrylic by those that have used it as skylights. As I said I would not have stated thus without basing it upon the manufacturers statements. I did research it before making a statement."

I'm not exited, just trying to be constructive. When someone replies with a patronising reply with the wrong answer,shall I keep quiet? When I'm accused of being intoxicated by Oldy previously, I do get ..... What is your input?

What is wrong with you? Nowhere have I accused you of being intoxicated.
I have had enough of this ridiculousness.

In the end I used sikaflex and it seems to have done the job. Tested it today and no leaks.
