I used Selleys D-Mastic over 5 years ago when I made my tutorial, and my lights are still dry inside.

and if you use d-mastic you can reopen them.. if you use silicone or ultrablack etc you wont be able to open them again if you have to redo them later on.

Mastic is great, but the clean up - no so much.

Wear gloves and crap clothes :-)

Hey guys, just a question; Can you get the D-mastic off by heating it i.e. putting it in the oven. Or does it only come off with turps?

Because i did a really shiat job with putting my headlights together, and the D-Mastic was getting everywhere. So unfortunately my left headlight looks like that car off the Titanic movie when the couple are inside.

yes, yes they are. And It's actually even more intense in the headlight than in the car. water droplets have formed from all the condensation from the two eloping. Which is why i need to know if i can take my headlight apart by doing the oven method, or turps.
