'GREAT SEALANT, BEST PACKAGING FOR NON-PRO USER'

Strengths:
Sikaflex is amazingly effective as a sealant. It's much stronger and adheres much more strongly than silicon rubber. It cures quickly and stays flexible.

Weaknesses:
It's unbelievably messy and gets everywhere, particularly as the tube has no nozzle supplied.
That said, I have tried the gun cartridge pack - and that is really awful. Within a week of opening (even with great care taken to seal the opening when finished) it sets solid in the mouth of the cartridge and nothing will then shift it - even a drill!
As a result, most of the contents gets wasted.
The tube does not seem to have the same vice so unless you're a professional and use gallons of the stuff a week, I would recommend the tube.

Overall:
Great sealant - but goes off in the cartridge & blocks the exit once opened.
Buy the tubes unless you use lots.

'GOOD PRODUCT'

Strengths:
Seals & bonds well, doesn't seem to deteriate and come adrift like silicone. White spirit soaked rag seemed to work well removing any excess.

Weaknesses:
The 100ml tube is a major weakness. I didn't expect to get a tube with a nozzle that you have to roll up to use (doesn't use a normal sealant cartridge gun), the nozzle repeatedly came off the tube, I had to put a tie wrap around the base of the nozzle, which improved the issue but did not totally cure it. Prepare yourself for messy fingers!

Overall:
I'd try buying the larger size next time, in the hope that it fits in a sealant cartridge gun.
