gonna have a go at 'sikaflexing' (brand of sealant) my seams tonight. Any tips or anything I should be aware of before i start? I've rubbed down with wirebrush and vactanned them the other week. All gone nice and black now. Not an amazing job, but hey at least i'm having a do :lol:
any tips about using the sealant appreciated.

aya,
remember looking at yours at the NW Meet. yours is a much better job than mine, as i only had a wire brush, but at least it should stop it getting any worse, and it does look better than it did already.
