Are they a similar composition? or do I need to buy both. Originaly used sikaflex as a gasket seal on my super charger to manifold, but I also need to adhere my carbon fibre rear valance to the body( which I would use tiger seal). Could I get away with one or the other for both jobs?

I used to use tiger seal for everything but ever since we started getting sikaflex in at work I have been swayed and that's what I use now.

I use it at work on a very regular basis and the environment it's used in is far more demanding than any environment my mini will ever be in. I have used it on the mini for arches and such things.

Don't know if that is any help at all.

I use tiger seal, its good and i also have a non setting waterproof sealer(caravan stuff, cant remember the name lol)

Both do the same job but with different applications
