Sticky Question

[Brian_B]

I’m planning to replace the cockpit teak in the new year but am a little confused about the various flavours of Sikaflex.
Is it correct that Sikaflex 291 is used as the Adhesive and 290DC for calking round the edges of the panels that are being made up?

 

[VicS]

Sikaflex 290 DC is for deck caulking

Sikaflex 291 is an adhesive sealant

Sikaflex 292 is for structural bonding

Sikaflex 295 UV is UV resistant for bonding plastic glazing panels

Sikaflex 296 is for bonding and sealing mineral glass

Sikaflex 298 is for bedding and bonding strip decking, sheets and panels

There is also a range of primers for various substrates as well as a cleaner for non porus surfaces and a remover.

Try www.sika.com for full info but IIRC it is not the easiest website to navigate.

Thanks. Looks like I was getting close.
