to Sikaflex?
While I agree that Sikaflex is great for sealing all sorts of things nautical, I understand from a swindlery that it has a shelf life of only 9 months, even when unopened. If you only need small amounts, eg for half a dozen bolts, is there an alternative mastic / waterproof sealer available in tubes or tins which can be sealed and reused at a later date?
I remember something that used to be used for gas fitting - a sticky yellow paste - that was water/gas/pressure proof and allowed before the nanny state said you could only use PTFE tape etc.
Is there anything out there that will do the job? Or do you have to spend over £12 for a large tube for use in a gun?
