Tiger Seal/ Tec7

pudzey101

Need to seal a few water leaks coming in through my car , and few areas around the house , but which product would be better as iv never used either ?

toastedpickles

Tec7 is mighty stuff, or if you can get some, dirko is good too

pudzey101

yeah picked up this in woodies awile ago , but just wanted peoples opinions on what would be better

toastedpickles

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

pudzey101

Thanks mate , just apply with the gun into the spots that are leaking water is it ?

toastedpickles

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

thanks a mill !! will try this 2moro does it set rock hard or stay soft when cured do u know ?

toastedpickles

That i don't know, I'd say it'd turn to a rubbery like substance maybe, I've never seen it set, its always been in between things

pudzey101

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.

pudzey101

yes clear tec7 is available but its called trans7 , google it

I've used this and its not 100% clear, has a slight blue hue to it.
