freeflow Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Has anybody used this stuff Soudal Carbond 940FC before is it any good? Datasheet pretty much the same as Sikaflex®-512 https://www.soudal.co.uk/pro/products/sealants/polyurethane-sealants/carbond-940fc/carbond-940fc-black-310ml (There was something wrong with the link you provided, so I’ve replaced it with a Soudal link I’ve checked works - Derek Uzzell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teccer1234 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 In the past I've bought Sikaflex®-512 but usually only need some of the tube and no matter how I seal the cap after use within a couple of days the rest has gone solid, is there anyway to save half a tube in future.

Derek Uzzell Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Soudal Carbond 940FC was mentioned on the Westfield Sports Car Club forum in 2015 - so the product has been around for a while https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/topic/116397-polyurethane-sealant/ Alternatives also suggested there were SIKA Sikaflex 221 U-POL Tigerseal Wurth Bond+Seal Everbuild Puraflex 40 I can only find one on-line review of Carbond 940FC (though admittedly I haven’t looked too hard...) Fantastically strong bond, quite hard to squeeze from tube, had to cut nozzle very large, but used to glue roof skin into a trailer. After 24 hours removed clamps, no sign of cracking or peeling, felt a very very solid bond. Will definitely be using again... There are a couple of YouTube videos on the Soudal Fix All High Tack product witzend referred to (Perhaps someone on the Practical Caravan forum has practical experience of Carbond 940FC ;-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Incidentally, I notice that the "Sikaflex-512 Caravan” product that's been mentioned many times on motorhome forums over the years is now called "Sikaflex 522”. https://www.uksealants.co.uk/sikaflex-522-caravan-sealant-adhesive.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8fbyqbvy7AIViK3tCh0w0Q26EAQYAyABEgLdYfD_BwE Comparing SIKA datasheets for the two products indicates that this change is not simply a renumbering exercise and that 522 should be superior to 512 Caravan in several respects. Like Sikaflex 512 Caravan, Sikaflex 522 is only marketed coloured white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I notice that the Practical Caravan forum has suggested Soudaseal RV61 - this is available in black, white or grey colours and the Soudal data sheet is here https://www.thegluepeople.co.uk/datasheets/pdf/Technical%20Datasheets/Soudal%20RV61%20-%20TDS.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
