Hi all, this may be a bit of a long shot...

I need to do some Sikaflexing up under the cockpit deck of my cat and access is restricted. I was wondering if anyone has purchased, made or thought about a Sikaflex nozzle that has a 90 degree bend in the tip so I can attack the job from underneath. I tried a section squirting it beside the area and forcing it into the gap with my finger but it got messy pretty quick.

Yeah BB, that's the go!
Sometimes searching for something is just about using the right description...

I cut the nozzle hole a little bit bigger than usual.
To much pressure & they blow apart at the join.
But there good.

After sikaflex crapped out on me l started using Fix 15 adhesive joint sealant which is a far better product than scitty sikaflex.
Use Fix Mate Glue for structural apps.

Grab a handfull of nozzles from Bunnings , get your cigarette lighter and gently heat it up turning the nozzle so it heats all around , bend to suit angle you need . Hopefully I can still be a member of tradies equity after giving away secrets.
