FYI, stay away from 3M 4000 as with time it turns to goo.

Re: 3M 4000 failures
Yep, leaves us with the good old standby of Siakflex 291!!!

though I think its interesting that they suggest Loctite PLS40 as "budget alternative" to Sika 291...Loctite PLS40 costs MORE than 291 where I am!!!

stick with SikaFlex it won't fail you!
