Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure 8oz Bottle

Product Information

In this context, the ease of use refers to whether a given sealant requires a primer or activator during application. Primers and activators can be costly. They also increase the amount of time you need to perform repairs, so you’ll want to choose a sealant that doesn’t require either pre-treatment. Before applying any of the sealants listed above, you will want to ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of any grease or oil. Depending upon the application, many of the sealants can also be sanded down and painted over. Nobody wants to buy a product that isn’t easy to use, and caravan sealant is no different. You should avoid buying a sealant that takes too much difficulty and time to install correctly because this can be extremely frustrating, especially if you’re using it on an awkward surface such as the roof.

What is Captain Tolley’s Creeping Crack Cure?

By far the most popular and highly rated caravan sealant is the Sikaflex 512. It’s an all-purpose adhesive and sealant that’s been designed especially for caravan, motorhome or trailer repairs. This ability to change shape and adjust to the forces of contraction, twisting, and expansion is known as tear resistance. The higher this figure, the better the sealant, and the longer the bond it forms will last. If you choose a sealant with low tear resistance, it won’t be able to alter its shape to conform to this pressure without breaking, and you’ll soon be needing repairs.

Like its counterpart, it comes in varying size rolls to accommodate the needs of different campers. However, that’s not its most impressive characteristic.

It might also be a good idea to choose a sealant that doesn’t require you to dismantle the part of your caravan you’re looking to fix. Captain Tolley’s Creeping Cure is a perfect example of this.
