Has anyone repaired a rubberised wheel arch flare?

If so can you recommend what adhesive to use?

TIA

Hi "Tigerseal" is a rubber based sealer I have used it as a filler/jointer on mudflaps you can cut off the surplus with a Stanley blade ...but carefully... so as to maintain the profile and then dress it in with a scrimpad

Thanks for the reply.

I've just found some for sale on ebay. Do you know of any retailers which sell, as the tubes on ebay are far too big for the small job I need it for?

Does it go by any other trade name?

TIA

Hi Halfords sell the cartridge for the gun ..like the bathroom sealant dispenser.but it has many uses and lasts for a long time if you keep the nozzle airtight
