or tigerseal, polyeurothane seam sealer in any case (not silicone)

Come on Ben you know the rules ... anytime anyone mentions possible squidge you tell them to use the non silicone stuff and I follow up telling then to use that stuff. It's not rocket science.

Anyway, it worked for me and my Chimaera sat out in the rain and never leaked ... so I sold it for a Tamora which did. I tried Sikaflex and it may work but it goes everywhere and is sticky as shit and didn't wipe off easily.

You found that out too did you, magic stuff Oh

BTW it don't come undone either, very easily.

It will wipe off if you use a panel de-greaser (sorry don't know what the solvent is) safe on paint too

One you've seen how it done properly with sikaflex/tiger seal you won't go back to silicone promise
