Most of these companies produce sealants or sealant adhesives, there is of course a difference in sealant, sealant adhesive and non setting sealant. I personally use sealant adhesive to seal roof lights and side windows although the consensus is to only use non setting mastic type sealants for these items, but in the past I have had major problems with leaks using mastic and over time mastic does go non flexible and deteriorate causing leaks and after all if fitting roof lights you should have no reason to remove them other than replacing them with a new unit anyway. The only time I have had to remove a rooflight has been due to a leak caused by hardened mastic on a flimsy. PhilIs there only one Stixall product (apart from colour choice)? And does it work for both being a sealant and adhesive? For example, can you use it for windows and roof lights, non-setting, and as an internal adhesive where you might hope it never comes apart?
I get bothered and stressed by the apparently bewildering array of Sikaflex products and worry I’ll use the wrong one for something, so having one “go to” product would be great....
Best thing to do is contact Sika technical department, tell them what you are wanting to do and ask which product is the correct one. They are very good at responding, or were when I asked about solar panels.Is there only one Stixall product (apart from colour choice)? And does it work for both being a sealant and adhesive?

Is the plug still flexible?But at least the nozzle came out very clean - The product had dried down to the Top of the tube outlet, fortunately there wasn't much left in the tube and I could do the Task I needed to do !!

VERY. I have since binned it, and the plug that came out of the nozzle was flexible, firm and solid in nature. I think it is a very good product. I was using the end of the tube to stick a piece of MDF to some unknown soffit on the Missus's buildings in order to fix a security camera external. This is because in the car park our beloved Car had her tyres slashed by some miscreant youth a month ago or so.Is the plug still flexible?
