"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."

What is wrong with you? Nowhere have I accused you of being intoxicated.

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