Captain Tolley's Creeping crack cure- Any Good?


Recommended Posts

Posted

A recurrent theme on the news 24 thread has been water getting into our cars. No suprise there recently! Got my head right under the dash today and the front screen is definitely letting in a bit of water amongst a few other places. Has anyone tried Captn Tolley's creeping crack cure? Its supposed to be water based, and work by capillary action on leaking seals and such. Anyone had a go with this stuff?

The 504 leaking, earlier.

Bloody excellent stuff, but be warned, it stains paintwork. Especially white. You need to wipe it off straight away.

I don't own a car that doesn't leak like a sieve so this could be a worthwhile investment for me.

The one car it worked really well on was the Mini. Having been totally stripped down during its resto, it had a niggly minor windscreen seal leak afterwards. The crack cure, applied a couple of times, seemed to cure the leak totally. Sadly, once we moved to Wales, the sunroof started leaking like it had been left open. It can't cure tilting sunroof woes.

I hate the stuff. This is because my chosen profession includes refurbishing windows for boats. Inevitably by the time the windows reach my workshop they are covered in clear silicone sealant and Captain Tolley's all of which has been money down the drain for my customers because they have eventually had to have the job done properly and I have to spend more time than normal cleaning off all this crap. So they are paying more money again.

Conclusion:

OK if you are only keeping the vehicle another six months before sending it over the bridge but not a long term solution.

Ive used it on the caravan with some success, never on a car

Sorry that's got to be the weirdest name for a repair stuff ever. I was thinking builders.......

I don't think I've had a British car that didn't leak either into the footwells or the boot. Goes with the territory it seems.

I used to enjoy the foot spa in my robin. Quiet nice on warm summer days......

I have heard rave reviews about this from other classic owners, but not yet tried it myself.
