How to use this Caravan Crack Repair Kit?
Note: Before bonding your materials, we recommend a preliminary compatibility test.
- Supplied ready for use, it is best applied by bottle or syringe with a suitable dosing tip.
- All surfaces to be adhered must be dry and free from grease. Degrease with a suitable degreaser.
- The adhesive is normally “wicked” into the joint. Ideally, a pressure of 80 kilos per square metre should be applied over the bonded area.
- Care should be taken to avoid excess adhesive outside the bonding area. The adhesive is very aggressive so any excess could cause smearing on the acrylic and should be soaked up with tissue or similar and not wiped. Wiping could result in smearing the surface of the acrylic quite badly.
When using this caravan window repair adhesive for the first time we recommend practising on a scrap piece or similar to familiarise yourself with how quickly it comes out of the tip.
If you spill on the window or apply too much, do not wipe off as this will smudge the window. Try to put the tip of a tissue or similar into the adhesive and allow it to be absorbed.
Precautionary information
- Large face-to-face surfaces will be a problem as the solvent has to evaporate. Too large an area may result in the adhesive inside the joint gradually eating into the substrate as it cannot evaporate.
- WC102 in 50ml is supplied in plastic bottles please use within 3-4 weeks of purchase as it can evaporate through the bottle.
- WC102 supplied in metal containers has a shelf life of 1 year if stored correctly.
- Store between 5°C and 25°C.

Very good product. Very thin so use only for cracks.. for a bit more money get the large tin then it’ll keep longer.
Clive Smith –
It’s only been a week since the repair was made but it seems to have stopped the crack spreading.
John kerr –
Repaired the crack in one window and bonded the delaminated window, excellent delivery and service thank you.
Eric John Heathcote –
I purchased this product to fix a large crack in my daughter’s Motorhome sky light. I was more than pleased with the result. It certainly saved the cost of a replacement sky light.
Mike –
Application can be tricky , I found laying window / crack flat and dipping a wooden bbq skewer into the glue ( nozzle removed) and using this method to control the amount and accuracy whilst applying.

Followed the full instructions and the product performed as claimed

Noticed a huge crack in the front window of the caravan. It was allowing water between the 2 laminations. Managed to drain the water and dry it out. Used wc102 and it was incredible how it sealed the crack. The adhesive is like water consistency but the instructions show to dab with kitchen towel if it runs which I did and the window has been battered with 50mph winds and heavy rain and not a drop of water has leaked. This stuff is incredible. I also purchased the delamination adhesive and that is miracle stuff. My mum’s touring van window was brittle and completely delamination, it cured super fast within a few hours and I can’t get my fingernail between the 2 panels now. I’ve mentioned this adhesive to a few of the season pitch holders who are having the same issues so hopefully it works just as well for them.
