Default Sealant?

What is the best sealant to stick the ally panels on with?

I found this on ebay:

I got a product called Omniseal from our local autofactors.

I think so long as it is a pu adhesive you should be fine.

Cheers

I used that Polyflex, it's good stuff. Don't get it on your fingers though, it's a pig to get off

you can get no more nails, but I have always found I had to use nails as the stuff never works.

No more Nails is meant for the house building industry, as it's not flexible enough, i would use Tiger seal or similar.
