Stationary M25 Traveller Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Make sure the powdercoating on the wing stays is secure before adhering wings !! But you knew that.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavic82 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Not for the same purpose but I have just used some Tigerseal. IMO it is no where near as good as Sikaflex. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Guy, what makes you say that? I've used the tigerseal and it seems pretty good stuff to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavic82 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 When Tigerseal sets it has quite a course structure compared to sikaflex. If you take a set peice of Tigerseal and tear it apart it has a courser grain that sikaflex. And is just not as tough/strong/sticky as sikaflex. We use sikaflex at work and you could stick a car to a house if you wanted to. Tiger seal is similar but inferior. Still good stuff but if you really want to be sure of a bond I would always go for sikaflex even though it is about twice the price. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
