I started out using Red Hermatite, graduated through Gold Hermatite to Blue Hylomar and finished up with Wellseal, from which I have had the most consistent success.

Just my personal experience.

Regards Mick
Exactly the same route as me.

I'm at the Hylomar stage, simply because it was easier to get here in France than Wellseal I think I'll have to make the effort and obtain some!

Got to give the old bike the best chance of survival no?

Thanks, Dave.

A tube of Wellseal costs about a tenner but the good news is that it never runs out! Has anyone ever got to the end of a tube? Cheers. Bruce.

During my apprenticeship at a Rolls-Royce and Bentley main dealer (1961 to 1967 on £3/10/6d a week including Saturday morning overtime !!) the stores only issued Blue Hylomar.

Dear me what an indictment of RR & Bentley! My first job as a medical lab technician at Middlesbrough General in 1969 paid £8 per month, after working a month in hand I got £8 for two months' work, my overdraft never recovered from that! Eee them were the days!
