Title: The best sealant?
Post by: Jonny Grigg on September 29, 2013, 10:46:00 am
Sounds like a bit of a boring thread this- actually it is, but could do with some thoughts.

I have been using some goop called Chemiseal- an amazing grey coloured sealant  which was going about in the UK racing scene in 2005 or so. My tube of this amazing stuff has lasted that long, but has now run out and I can't remember who I got it from and can't buy it retail ( or so it seems).

What is the best stuff around at the moment that makes a great seal and no oil leaks?

Thanks,

Jonny.

wellseal, and its British,  Kuril2 is also very good, both have good shelf life that many do not.

Stag Well seal, you can get a nice sized tin.

Jonny, i'm pretty sure you'd have gotten the chemiseal from Bubba (Mat Finney).

It's the stuff that used to hold Petter Solberg's gearboxes together.   ;)

Wayne will have his contact details, maybe he still has a source for that stuff.
