Bloody horrible stuff to work with, have had to re-seal my lower windscreen moulding, hope it now does the trick.

Isn't it just, I used a tiny bit on a washer jet, seemed to have more everywhere else than where I wanted it!

It should do the job it's used in a lot of marine applications for bonding various materials such as steel to fibre glass etc

Sticks like the proverbial to a blanket.

A lot of kit car guys use it to stick the front wings on. That's how difficult it is to dislodge once it gets a hold!

 I've found it very useful for sticking items back together... and then to the workbench, vice, nearby pillar drill, and lastly of course my overalls...

Sticks to anything Sikaflex :y

While the sikaflex is still wet on your fingers hands, get a rag with some thinners or turps and rub it off should fly off then  :y

I'ts sealed the moulding OK, just a bit worried in case I ever have to take the scuttle off.

Will the moulding ever come off again?
