Coulstock Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi everyone, I know this has been covered before but i can't find any recent posts. What is the best way and name of the sealant to use between the wings? I have seen 3m, various silicone/mastic type products etc etc but i am hoping there is one product that is tried and tested, looks good and stands head and shoulders above others. Many Thanks, Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chilliman Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'm about to do this job & using this stuff: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Windscreen-Sealer-Window-Sealant-Black-310ml-car-van-/371592868637 I'm sure others will have their own preferences but this is non setting & also for bolt on panels...

brenda Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 +1 this is the same stuff I used on my rear wing, make sure you have gloves and a cloth to clean up with. Mike . Redrose group Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeanF Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Use White Spirit on a rag to wipe off excess from panels. Works a treat if you have 2pack paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c.hydes Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 My TR6 rear light clusters on the top sides, and the rear side panels to top body panel are sealed with a "black non setting" putty. I was given a small "marble sized" sample by the restorer and told the name, but sadly now long forgotten. Great stuff and easy to use. Would love to know what the trade name is so I can obtain some more, Colin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chilliman Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Probably this stuff, I've still got an old tin but not sure it's available anymore... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c.hydes Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Yes that`s the stuff - thanks, I prefer the putty to the silicon type gun tube type, I`ll have a look to find it. Colin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 This question has come up before: The link in that thread to Woolies might help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elclem1 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Yes wollies trim it comes in strips rather like a non setting putty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 This stuff is made for applications like this. It does not harden. I used it on my TR6. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If (and when) they ever come up for sale on likes of Ebay they make stonking money now as its been NLS for quite a few years now. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
