Neoprene has been in my life long before I knew what it was.........or the benefits it gave. grin2


rofl For me its Butyl Tape Dave, although I was more technical than body training at Volvo we did try and cover each other when possible to keep the training fresh and I also taught windscreen and glass fitting....it was there that I first encountered Butyl Tape, I also learnt Volvo parts division sold many more packs of tape than windscreens (Butyl came between dry glaze and PUR bond, 240/245 kind of cars, early 740/60 for fitting widscreens) It has a wonderful additional use, it will stick anything to anything (well within reason) and it stops rattles. If you have ever had or been in a Volvo 480 you know what that means, the whole dash was held in with Butyl to stop the rattles and squeaks, its wonderful stuff, only available on a roll to fit a windscreen length but that will last you several lifetimes. If you ever try it the trick is to get it warm before use, about 30 degrees is perfect, we used to sit the roll on a space heater for 2 min.
