Right, now I know what you are talking about. Without having actually
used this stuff, I can't be sure, but it doesn't look right to me for
adhering to polythene....

Variants say "can be smoothed to a featheredge with a wet finger and
sets to a firm, tough, rubber-like water resistant bead." "Paintable in
30 minutes". "Adheres well to clean, bare metal, primed metal and paint
surfaces. Skins over quickly. Low shrinkage. Can be painted within 20
minutes. Excellent tooling and sanding properties." "designed to seal
interior and exterior joints and seams. Adheres well to clean, bare
metal, primed metal and painted surfaces. " "easily thumbed into place
and smoothed with a finger. It may be painted immediately."

"Adheres well to primed surfaces *except acrylic lacquer*." "Available
in white and gray colors that when applied are *tack free* and paintable
in 30 min." (*My emphasis*).

Hi,

This one looks like the most promising:

Reading the MSDS and data sheet it looks like it is a non setting
polybutylene sealant, so doing a UK search on non setting butyl comes
up with some references:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=lang_en&q=site%3A.uk+butyl+mastic+ OR+sealant+OR+%22non+setting%22

I'd expect a glaziers or even a decoraters merchant would also carry a
sealant like this, or know where it can be obtained.

While looking at the 3M site I noticed a couple of adhesives that look
interesting, would save welding body panels sometimes
