Wear gloves, don't get it anywhere you don't want it to be and always buy fresh as it goes off in the tube.

 

[Ed]

Apparently the tube is used with normal sealant applicators those gun things. But it doesn't look quite like other sealent tubes. Have i bought the wrong one??

It should have a ringpull on the arse end amd should rattle.

 

[Ed]

No ring pull or apparent absence thereof, but it does rattle.

Bit like the tube I bought then. Ended up just puncturing the end cap. Inside the cap it looks like a normal silicon gun with the usual moving bung to push the goo out.

Oh yes, you don't want to get it on your hands as Tom has mentioned. Once dried, you'll pretty much have to wait for it to naturally come off as your skin re-generates

If things go a bit whiffy and you end up in a mess, make sure you've got some white spirit at hand. All the while the tiger seal is relatively 'wet' its manageable, its when it starts to set you have a problem.

Managed to use it like silicon beading around my boot spoiler with no concerns - just didn't use gloves and ended up with grubby looking hands!
