Tiger seal.

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I asked a question. I've got some external sealing to do on my new van, I just wondered how good tiger seal is at preventing water penetrating through as I've got a leak somewhere. Thanks as always.

Tigerseal is great stuff and will seal most leaks, you just have to find them

Another job for me is ok to use just as a sealant?

Yep

Good stuff but as with all sealants, make sure all old silicone sealant has been removed, and surface has to be squeaky clean to get good adhesion.

agreed...personally I use Sikaflex 221...its got great adhesive and sealing qualities plus very uv and weather resistance. It stays flexible also. Sikaflex 512 is available too but goes a bit harder and better for proper gluing, people stick solar panels and stuff on with that stuff.

another excellent product is crack creep for annoying leaks...thinner than water so run it along leaky windows etc. And it finds any small gaps flows in and creates a flexible seal, sailors use it alot on leaky upper boat areas and they rave about it.

Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure

that's the one, best named thing around but works a treat for small annoying leaks
