Sikaflex 291i - £15 inc shp - Adhesive Sealant

£9 (ex post) from any of the budget chandleries like marine superstore. Can't remember how much Nicky's flogs it for but it's a lot less than £15 (ex postage, inc 5 min walk)

Thought it would be better to include the cheapest postage I could find - the idea being that not everyone has a local chandlery --the EVERBUILD STIX‐ALL is really damn cheap if you have a tool station near though
?

It is also available in clear which makes it good for sticking acrylic - one of the last tips I took from Nigel Mercier. Plus they do a small tube, in some outlets, for about a fiver.

Ahh that must be the "crystal clear" version then

If you have a Toolstation near you, then PU40 is only £4.

 

[Muddy Boat]

Marineflex (and others) from MarineMastics in Waterlooville.

I was shocked at the £15 price in the UK, £9 is better, but in a standard diy store in Germany it it €8 (£6.90) https://www.bauhaus.info/suche/produkte?q=Sikaflex+291i

Surely if it's retailing in a store at this price, then online it'll be cheaper; Wholesale even cheaper.

There is a large markup, it seems. It is the same stuff isn't it or am I missing something?

I've made a mistake it's the 595 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/1817...=9045632&device=c&campaignid=738466455&crdt=0

 

[Rafiki]

Yes I found that one, but it's a guy selling old stock ( Manuf mid 2014) so comparable price is probably £10 ish

CT1 is a good sealant/adhesive and it stays usable for a long time after opening the tube. Around £10-£11 a tube and readily avaliable.

Indeed - the shelf life of CT1 is about the longest of any sealant I've used. Great stuff.
