    As i said, mighty stuff altogether, the dirko stuff is for cars specifically, but seeing as you have that sure fire away with it

    Yep, dry up the area, clean it, make sure it's all dry and stick a bead of it on, or whatever you think is best yourself

    Don't know tiger seal.
    But a buddy here on boards saved his sinking boat with tech7 and a bit of a board.

    Must reseal a shower tray to glass enclosure. Existing seal is the skinniest bead of clear sealant I've ever seen. I have white Tec7 which wouldnt look very well so I was wondering if there is a clear Tec7 available or what is an equivalent clear silicone.
