Hi, Where can i obtain tiger seal


most small car parts places should sell it, if not they will do an alternative. and if push comes to shove direct car parts sell it.
King tools sell it at half the price but think they only do white

With Loctite the white is not as strong as the blue, which is not as strong as Orange or Black silicon sealer.... even though the test figures suggest that they are the same, they simply give you test reports that are for the weaker solution...

Alternative is Sikaflex, both are well recommended, sikaflex is easier on the wallet aswell

I asked a local bodyshop who uses tigerseal and he pointed me in the direction of his paint supplier who stocks it in there shop, haven't really seen it anywhere else in a shop but then again I'm not looking out for it

I pay a tenner a tube

Wires uncrossed now midridge2 ;)

I was sure I was answering a question about RTV ;)

Sure we used to use something called DUM DUM putty.... always seemed a bit useless really so hopefully the modern versions are better...

you can still get dum dum, but its not a sealer in the sense of body sealer, its used to fill holes and stays soft unlike body sealer.

I think ebay is your best bet for buying tiger seal. I brought it from there last year for about 7quid in black. Excellent stuff.
