PU Adhesive... where?
Guys,
I have tomorrow off work  to make a start on the final fitting of my bodywork.
Where can I get some PU adhesive off the shelf?
I've tried Homebase, B&Q, Halfrauds etc, but they all only stock Silicone sealant type products.
Alternatively (and I know this has been discussed before) is there anything wrong with using Silicone sealant?
Cheers
Nick

It's PU you need, ring nfauto - http://www.nfauto.co.uk and get them to send you a coupld of tubes, should arrive tommorrow.
Alternatively you could go to your local bodyshop and ask if they have any you could buy.
Silicone sealent is not the same.
Rich.

Looks good Ray,

PS - travelling Wurth guy turned out to be a woman  but she couldn't deliver today  and the price was nearly £8 a tube as well

from experience, texflex is £8 a tube, and it is every bit as good as sika.
the lolocost dunlop stuff i got for £5 a tube is utter shite. i'd have been seriously peed off if it'd been all i had for the whole build.
luckily, i saved it for doing sva trim bits.
price most definitely dictates quality in this case, or should that be the reputation of the supplier? hmmmmmmmm
anyway, i've heard good stuff about the wurth, but would look forward to comments about this stuff.

Ive had bad experience with Sikaflex. I used it during Mk1 Golf rebuild to hold arch spats and rear number plate on. I lost the plate and 2 spats
(surfaces were keyed, correctly prepped etc etc).
So far the Wurth stuff (bond and seal) looks far superior. i get mine from Mac 1 when iam passing their workshop.
