Title: black sealent needing sourced,
Post by: scottm72 on November 10, 2012, 10:35:24 pm

hi, was hoping someone would know where to get some kind of automotive black silicone / sealant as I have a little gap underneath an aerial but it needs to be black and flexible, also I was thinking if I get automotive stuff then it could be removed at a later date without damaging the paintwork
anyone any ideas please

yeah that's what I don't want, need something that I could cut in the future and then take off without any damage in case I needed to change the fin or so,, im thinking of maybe just normal bathroom black silicone but hope there might be something better out there, thanks for that though at least I know I can rule that one out  :happy2:

You can cut TigerSeal with a sharp blade and I think you can use an appropriate solvent to remove it but that needs checking. A phone call to their Technical guys will tell you if TigerSeal suits your needs.

What about a blob of some windscreen rubber sealant?
