ECLECTIC SEAL-ALL

Eclectic Seal-All is the all-purpose adhesive used by hobbyists and mechanics alike to seal, bond, insulate, waterproof and stick to a wide variety of materials. Use it on practically anything: wood, steel, aluminum and copper; most plastics and rubber; porcelain, glass and china; vinyl, fiberglass, canvas and leather; cardboard, paper and much more! Fastdrying and clear, seal-all can withstand changes in climate, insulating and toughening with age. Known as “the repair kit in a tube,” it does not require mixing or heating, does not become brittle in cold weather and resists water, gasoline, oil and most solvents.

Product Type: Contact Adhesive, Repair Adhesive

Compatible Substrates & Surfaces: Aluminum, Copper, Elastomers & Rubbers, Fiberglass, Glass, Leather, Metal, Paper, Plastics, Steel, Wood

  • Fast dry time – creates a strong, secure bond quickly

Applications & Uses

Where To Use / Applications
  • Repair distributor caps, interior panels, radiators, gaskets and more!
  • Maintain golf club grips, fletching arrows, fishing rod tips and guides, tents, canoes and more!
  • Repair china, porcelain, fiberglass, figurines, linoleum, furniture, knobs and drawers, screens, gutters and much more.
Chemicals That Have Little Or No Effect On Seal-all
  • Acetic acid (5% and 10%)
  • Ammonium hydroxide (3.4%)
  • Ammonium nitrate (50%)
  • Antifreeze
  • Beer (3.2% alcohol by volume)
  • Boric acid (3.1%)
  • Distilled water
  • Hydraulic oil
  • Lactic acid (3.8%)
  • Milk (fresh, tested at 40 °F)
  • Motor oil (30w)
  • Nitric acid (10% and 20%)
  • Oxalic acid (3.1%)
  • Phosphoric acid (30% and 60% as P2O5)
  • Potassium hydroxide (3.4%)
  • Sodium carbonates (2.7%)
  • Sodium chloride (10%)
  • Sulfuric acid (3% and 10%)
  • Wine (20% alcohol by volume)

SEAL-ALL exhibits excellent resistance to water, dilute acids and dilute bases. Thin films of Seal-All were immersed in various chemicals for two weeks and exhibited weight gains of less than 2% and tensile strength loss of less than 10%. These chemicals are listed on the left. All percentages are given by weight unless otherwise noted.

Solvents That Dissolve Seal-all
  • Acetone
  • Chevron solvent 1100
  • Chlorothane NU
  • Cyclohexane
  • Methyl Ethyl Ketone
  • Methylene chloride
  • Perchloroethylene
  • Propyl acetate
  • 1, 1, 1-Trichloroethane

These are common solvents that dissolve SEAL-ALL when hardened samples were immersed. The dissolution with these solvents was not instantaneous and therefore does not preclude usage in all cases. Applications were an occasional splash or brief exposure is expected may be acceptable. Test a small area before full use. 

Directions And Application Notes

Puncture seal in neck of tube using pointer cap; hold tube upright until ready to use. Read directions and test small area before use.

Step 1 USE AS A CONTACT ADHESIVE: Spread coating on each surface to be joined together. Allow to cure 1-2 minutes before mating surfaces. Seal-All hardens by solvent evaporation and forms an immediate bond that is difficult to reposition after both adhesive coated surfaces are placed in contact and sufficient pressure is exerted to create full contact between both surfaces.

Step 2 USE AS A SEALANT: Apply directly to clean, dry surface; hold firmly until product sets. Additional coats may be applied; allow each layer to dry thoroughly. On leaking objects under pressure, apply tape (non-silicone/porous) over hole. Apply Seal-All over tape.

Step 3 DRY TIME: 2-3 min. (set); 2-6 hrs. (full cure).

Step 4 TEMPERATURE RANGE: -40 to 150 °F (-40 to 66 °C).

Step 5 UV RESISTANCE: Paint over for maximum resistance.

Step 6 CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: Resistant to gasoline, alcohol, paint thinner and most solvents.

Step 7 WATER RESISTANCE: Immediately upon application.

May damage finished surfaces. Avoid such contact until completely cured. Not recommended for use on polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, Styrofoam™, or paper products; and any items that come into contact with food, drinking water or animals.
