So I've got an old set of tsl's which have been sikaflexed at some stage to the rims. 3 out of 5 were leaking so I've broken the beads and given them a good clean with a wire brush, and got all the mud off. Now I'm ready to re- sikaflex the beads.
Now I've read a lot of the threads mentioning sikaflex to seal the bead but none I found mention which one to use. So which one do I need to use for best results?
Here's a link listing their automotive products, are any of these the one I need?

X2 It is Sikaflex 252 in a black cartridge with Permatec on it in red lettering.
Bunnings should have it on the shelf.
Go to Sika search page and search the drop down list of product names, click on 'Sikaflex 252' for technical data sheet.

Not sure of the number but I just buy automotive fast cure black sikaflex, it holds my coolant in, diff oil in and seals my damaged bead inside my beadlock rim.

Any product that is used for windscreens is good.
