Question Tigerseal working/setting time..?

How long do you have to work with Tigerseal (assume Tigreseal is Tigreseal ie all the same..?)..?

Also, does it have good grab properties..?

Thinking of fitting an 06> rear diffuser to my 05 and rather that drill spare wheel well I'm planning on bonding the mounting brackets in position. They have a good flattish surface area that should lend well to bonding and it's not like it needs to hold any real weight..

Thoughts..?

Tigerseal sticks like **** to a blanket, but I wouldnt use it on its own without also screwing or bolting the brackets if its possible. Fitted the side skirts to my wifes MG with it, but also screwed them into the car underneath.

IIRC it takes quite a while to set so you'll have plenty of time to work with it, we taped everything into position and left overnight to go off completely.

Cheers mike, I presume removing any under seal at contact points would be prudent..?

You should be able to get it from most bodyshop suppliers or you could use the same stuff that they bond windscreens in,
