mike4444244 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi I want to seal up the alpine light holes on the 109 camper, rather than rivet a 18g aluminium panel over the hole... 1. Would Sikaflex/tiger seal both fix the panel and make it watertight? 2. Which one is better? 3. I think I should fix the panel from the inside, any reason not to do it this way? 4. Would I need to fix the panel mechanically ie rivets while the glue sets or is it instant grab? 5. I haven't used this stuff before, anything I should know that I can't read on the tube? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Sikaflex 255 I use http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_npm...;_nkw=sikaflex+. lots of choice here it is a superb product, takes a few hrs to cure best if you can hold the plates together rivets if you like it is very good at sealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I've only used Sikaflex so i can only comment on that - It will hold it and seal it. For a light panel it will hold it in place while it sets. Personally I'd probably use a small dome head screw/bolt at each end in addition to sealant. It will make it watertight. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I've used Tiger Seal before. It sticks like S**t to a blanket. Very good and will make it waterproof. If in the future you need to seperate the 2 parts the only way will be with a knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Both good, both will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
