SteveG Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Anyone know a source of the black mastic that LR use on door/room frames etc to fill the gaps etc. Seems to work best in my opinion so I want to get some more to finally do my door seals properly.

western Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 It could be LR part number 78159 the black glazing sealant as used on the rear door to seat the glass into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumps Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 It could be LR part number 78159 the black glazing sealant as used on the rear door to seat the glass into. The black stuff around the windscreen to bulkhead joints (under the door seals) is "dum-dum sealant putty". Used it for years on classic cars etc. Someone is selling a couple of tins on e-blag for £5.99 at the moment. It remains flexible and doesn't dry out or cure like silicone etc. Regards Scrumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomeranger Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Sikaflex or Tigerseal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Sikaflex, Tigerseal or Carbond. All good stuff and will ensure a pretty permanent bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting harder to get hold of these days as most auto paintshops have swapped over to modern Sikaflex, Tigerbond type materials. Search for 'dum dum' at Frost Auto restoration. £5.00 a tin.

SteveG Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Cheers for the replies everyone. Yes I used the flexible sealant already but the putty seems to be better at filling the bigger gaps found on a LR, especially mine with panels from various models Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
