Capt Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure

Captain Tolley's creeping crack cure may sound like an old fashioned remedy but it's actually an up to date solution to an age old problem: the finding and fixing of mystery leaks without having to take everything apart.

The creeping crack cure is so thin that by using capillary action it can find its way right inside fine cracks and joints to set a fine flexible seal.

Around the home

Capt. Tolley is the perfect sealant for the do-it-yourselfer and professional alike.
It can fix rainwater leaks in flat roofs, masonery and joinery, and in the bathroom and kitchen it can seal sinks, shower trays, worktop joints, inset sink surrounds and such like. You can also use it to make in situ repairs to veneers, wood joints, leaded windows, ceramics – teapots, bowls etc. – as well as to items exposed to the elements, such as outdoor lamps. It's also suitable for waterproofing earthenware vessels.

In vehicles, old and new

Capt. Tolley is especially handy for owners of cars and recreational vehicles, such as campervans and caravans. It’s great at sealing window and windscreens surrounds, rivet holes, aluminium trim, gullies and skylights. Vintage and veteran car enthusiasts have welcomed the product with enthusiasm.

On boats

Capt. Tolley was originally invented for boats so it’s no surprise that it excels in this area. It’s very effective for fixing leaking windows, porthole surrounds, portlights, decks, coach roofs and centreboard casings. And it’s ideal for sealing around stressed items such as deck fittings.

It can be painted over
When dry the sealant is transparent but it can be painted over succesfully as so little of the sealant is exposed to the surface.
It’s unaffected by direct sunlight
The sealant is unaffected by sunlight although this does not represent much of a problem as such small areas are exposed.
It has good chemical resistance
Once cured, the sealant is unaffected by most everyday chemicals.
