silicone

Hi all My large format beige tiles are on the wall. My suite and cladded ceiling are white and I'm ready to grout with Mapei jasmine grout. I intend to use matching jasmine Silicon on internals with clear (dow) Silicon around silverware. However I would like to get some opinions / preferences...

I've purchased a fugi kit to try out after reading about them on here, I've always been a finger and washing up liquid man and I make a good job, but, with a job coming up that requires black Silicon and white tiles, I thought it might be worth a try with this kit. Question is, how do you...

Just on re boarding a bathroom and the upvc windows is caked in Silicon. Want to remove this before skimming it up. Any top tips on solutions, or ways to remove it offthese plastic windows so not to damage or leave nasty scratch marks would be much appreciated. Cheers D

As of 4.55pm tonight I found out that Mapei 110 Silicon is not a stock item at CTD,and if I order it,it will most likely take that long to arrive that the best chance of getting it would be to put it on my wish list for Santa! Any other stockists that might have it out there?

Travelling south tomorrow to do a mate's bathroom. These are the adhesives available locally, I've no experience of either so opinions are welcome please.

Hopefully a quick one for ya. When I grouted recently I was obviously not careful enough and got some grout in the internal corners in a few areas, where I had intended to Silicon. Do you think I should remove all the grout before I Silicon or will I get away with it do you reckon? I did try...

Dang diddly! In my mad rush to get as much of the shower alcove grouted before the epoxy grout became unusable, I absent mindedly filled the vertical corner joints with grout. I tanked the bejeebus outta the whole alcove, and the bathroom is on the ground floor sitting on sand and cement...

Looking for advice.. I have recently done a few splashbacks where the worktops are a good 10mm away from the out of square walls.. I also always put first tile a couple of mm above worktop.. When i come to siliconing tiles to top it all bloody vanishes down the back of worktops!!!... Any...

Hi , Just wondering what peoples preferences on silicones are? I use "the works" normally as an adhesive when gluing baths and shower trays, and "dow corning 785" as a sanitary finishing Silicon.

Is it good practice that you always run a bead of Silicon up the vertical corners and around the shower tray. We are installing a tiled marmox showerlay tray and the wife would like the corners grouted as she says the Silicon just ends up going mouldy in time. Thanks for the replies

After some advice re shower cubicle in the photo. Silicon seal the bottom ... What about the vertical bit? Should I remove grout and Silicon? Or Silicon over the existing grout? Thanks!

Hi I've just tiled a shower area and my boss has told me to grout the tiles sitting on the tray.Should I just not put a Silicon joint there instead?Also should I run a Silicon joint in the corners from ceiling to floor also.Cheers

Hi, as per title what's the general consensus of sealing between the floor tiles and the drain housing. I'm thinking Silicon will give a better adhesion than grout. I'm using 50x50mm Mosaic's and its an impey deck and drain (square not linear). Thanks Martin.

Hello to all, Can anyone recommend which Silicon is best to seal my shower tray and internal corners. I have searched the forum and found no clear winner. Thanks.
