Tiger seal

If I wanted some Tiger seal (or equally good equivalent) for this weekend, what shop would I go to?

@ Taz. Cheers bud. I wasn't sure whether anything I could buy at Screwfix or Tool Station was going to be as good.

@Trammy. Cheers bud. I did wonder whether they'd be an option. Do you know how much you MF charges roughly? I've seen some ebay stores charge £10 more than others :?

Sikaflex sticks like jobby to a blanket

They do different grades, from a sealant to a adhesive sealant (which once it's on is never coming off)

Hmmmm. It's for edging around my headlight duct. I may be best off with just a sealant then as because it's such a shallow lip I'll probably end up making a mess. Need only a pin prick hole in the nozzle as well.

I've done a lot of reading into sealing lights, as I think mine are letting in some water. Much reading and researching later, I arrived here: http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/tiles/adhe ... ml-9254348
