How many tubes of PU adhesive do I need?
Hi gents,
I'm just about to make a start on the body panels, and to keep things cheap, I'm going to buy my PU adhesive from ebay. I just need to know how many tubes to order. I'm doing ali rear panel and side panels as well as the interior ones. By the way, buying this stuff, looks good and a good price too! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIKAFLEX-221-E...item2557e29888 Cheers Adrian |

Personally I just use tubes of automotive bond from my local motor factors. Can't remember the brand name off the top of my head but it's up the garage if you want to know, I'll pop up and have a look.
I just pop down and get some more whenever I run out, and it's only £4 a tube too. He usually gives me a few extra nozzles for nowt as I never use a whole tube in 1 go.

Sikaflex ?
Does anyone know the difference between Sikaflex 221 and 291 ?

221 is the one you want. 291 is more waterproof but has a low bond strength. 221 is better suited to automotive use, whereas 291 is marine grade.

Popped in yesterday and got some, as well as some other bits and bobs. Used them a fair bit before, nice guys to deal with, and as soon as you say 'ooh, that sounds a bit expensive' the two guys have a quick chat in the back, and then give you a new price!
I reckon I'm only a couple of weeks away from a proper rolling chassis, rather than a quick mock-up - very excited! Cheers Adrian |
