Default Adhesive for sticking exterior wood



Need to stick some non-slip epoxy inserts into some wooden steps (shown on
http://www.qualitydecking.co.uk/anti...nt_decking.php - the
Q-Grip strips).

Instructions say:

"Apply one continuous (centrally located in the groove to be filled)
4-6mm maximum bead of a suitable gap filling adhesive that also has
the properties of an external use sealant i.e. flexible and both
water and U.V. resistant. You may consider the use of a
sealant/adhesive called theWORKS by GeocelĀ® in grey or Sikaflex
EBT or 11FC+ by Sika Ltd in grey"

Any suggestions for something suitable that is easily available (which
ideally means, Screwfix, Toolstation, Wickes or B&Q).

Cheers,

Darren

Polyurethane-based Sikkaflex mastic. Nothing else (silicones etc) will
do anything like as well, or indeed adequately. It's not cheap either,
but it does work very, very well. I've not seen it in SF or TS.

Try boat chandlers, caravan places, car & van places. Probably mail-
order is easiest though - someone will do it.

Bah, thought it might be something like that. Found a few sources online
but Ideally I wanted it for Saturday. Will have to hunt :-(

Evostick Serious glue. Expensive, though.
