Default Bodywork Sealant

Apart from ebay, anyone know a decent supplier of either Silkaflex or Tiger Seal

Cheers

It's for bonding some PU body bits onto bumpers/sideskirts.

I just need a fresh tube of what I have, it's been sat in the garage too long and gone off

221 or 255 will do the job - there is screws on the parts as well so the seal is a bit more important than the bond.

Colour's not important as it will be painted over

Any decent local car paint suppliers should stock it (or an equivalent)

Had a quick look on yell.com but only bodyshops came up, might have to try some different searches

There was fresh sealant in there, but the plunger was stuck fast so I ended up ripping the tube open and applying it by hand (or finger to be precise) - right messy stuff but I know I can sand it down when it sets
