Hi Mike,
Sorry for the late reply - I've been trading and partying at the TSSC
International since Friday! Have you ever had to replace a seal which has been
previously sealed with silicone sealant? It's impervious to most solvents (are there
any which work?) and sticks VERY firmly. A long slow (and sometimes painful) job with
a razor blade. Bearing in mind that most modern seals will last no more than 5 years
on a daily driver that lives outside in all weathers, fitting the seal next time round
always figures in my thinking,
Cheers,
Bill.
