Here you go mate, Sikaflex 221, £15 delivered..

I don't know about the other one you mentioned, apparently it's for porous concrete.

I only filled the engine mount today with the 221. Will it be dry in time for sunday?

The outside will but doubt the inside would be, I always put them over a hot steam pipe for faster drying times but not to hot as it'll boil.

I wouldn't fit it until it's dry ideally, how late can you fit it?
