roamingyak Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hi all, I'm looking to overhaul my 1991 hard top 110 Defender starting with water proofing and sound proofing. Many blog pages and the LR official 'stop the floods' manual state the use of Calk/Caulk (instead of the now deceased Dum Dum). Often mentioned is Eastwood flexible strip caulk, but this seems sold out everywhere including ebay, amazon etc etchttps://www.frost.co.uk/eastwood-flexible-strip-caulk-dum-dum-replacement.html Can anybody recommend something else? A few factors to take into account: I sleep a lot in the vehicle when travelling so no smell or poisen release proferred The vehicle often spends time in 40+ degree heat I need to be able to order it online (delivered to Portugal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Tiger seal? Less malleable than dum dum, but sets permanently, and thus no smell, no melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sikaflex as with tiger seal it's a polyurethane so sets like rubber and will glue two panels together. Also there is Saba an ms polymer but again sets like rubber etc. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnoK Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Be careful to use a NON Acetic Acid sealant. If it smells of vinegar, don't use it. You will have corrosion problems and it doesn't paint over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
