If it's stuck on with sikaflex, it's stuck on for good. Like oblivion said...bit of a cleaning job if u want it off, especially if it's on something plastic like headlamp lense.

Also a heads up if ur gonna use sikaflex...when spreading evenly and in the most cleanest way, use ur finger with spit on it, first date lubricant (spit ;) ) repels sikaflex good. (not that i break enuf things to know this.... :D ) White spirits cleans up excess sikaflex pretty good.

sikaflex is the stuff used by all auto sparky's for sealing, sticking, and general adhesive. ifs the good stuff that you know will work.

silicone is not as strong.

silcone is shit for what you want....enough vibrations and it will come off....will find that alot of stuff on your car is held with sickaflex....r32 tail lights are sealed with sickaflex for example.

went to autobarn and found out that sikaflex = silicone made in Japan ? + more expensive ... What's the different compare to normal silicone ?

Sikaflex is not like silicone, Silicone dries to a hard but flexible compositon and due to flex and expansion/contraction eventually looses its bond, Sikaflex doesnt really dry out, it stays like a goo and seals really well I have used it extensively on all types of applications from electrical to plumbing, it shites all over silicon.

had tried out the sikaflex... can't complain at all.. very sticky.. a pair gloves is a must....i still got some stick on my hand after two days.. :D

Hahaha..yeah it happens. You'll find that using gloves sometimes is worse off...unless you have a whole box of them right next to you.

    • Neostead, I'm looking to have a custom surround done that also has a slot for a fog light. Would you be willing to create a 3d model I can buy or create and ship me the part or even provide/sell the current model for me to modify? Cheers
    • Did some maintenance on the MX5, did the engine oil and filter which was uneventful, then I drained the coolant to put in the new reservoir and a thermostat, reservoir took 5 minutes  The thermostat, well that took.........3 bloody hours, what a job, the issue was the 3 bolts holding it on, one was easy, 2 were hidden and required a few 1/4 drive extensions, 1 more than I had, and a 1/4 swivel, which I also didn't have, and a good amount of playing contortionist  Getting the 2 unseen bolts back on was a time consuming nervous nightmare, as I couldn't see where they went there was alot of stabbing and hoping for the best, trying to line up a 8 mm bolt straight, which you cannot actually see or get a hand in there, with a 1/4 swivel in the mix was a nightmare Anyways, it's done now, all burped out, and run up to temp a few times, happily no leaks thank Jebus After the thermostat fiasco I decided I need a few mental health days away from tools before doing the rest of the servicing on it As for the Dunnydoore, it had the aircon regassed and it has a clean bill of health, thinking about taking it out on Monday for a cruise down the coast to look at some houses if weather permits 
    • In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly
    • I've got 60L of e85 in there at the moment
    • Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.
