Hi guys,
Van in for respray startin next week, need to supply a good sealant for the seams after being cleaned and treated. Can anyone suggest a reliable one, availble UK?

Ta,

Don't use silicone as the paint won't stick, use something like tigerseal

I have never used this company, but this is the stuff I mean:

Hi everyone,

The best stuff to use for sealing roofs, panels, etc by far is PU seal. It doesn't peel, roll off, crack and is resistant to almost everything. It comes in a tube and requires a caulking gun.

There's a couple of things to be aware of when using this stuff:-

- Never get it on your skin. If you do wash it off immediately (if it's left on your skin after 15 minutes it will not come off at all).

- PU seal also skins quite quickly (approx 15 to 20 minutes), so I would do a bit first, then the next bit, etc.

tigerseal or sikaflex.

Sikaflex 521UV is what you need.
Sika are in welwyn Garden City, Herts.
Give them a call and they will point you in the direction of a stockist.

I can attest to the "sticks like "pooh" to a blanket" properties of seam sealant.. it sort of welded itself into my palm..
