Bath Sealing Strip

[Minnie]

I thought i was invisible for a while :mad2:

erm, you were. When I refreshed, I didn't see your post.

Many apologies

and thanks

I've just got my Tesco delivery which normally comes with a free Daily Mail, but there was none. What a shame. **** paper, but could have come in useful for something :lol:

One thing to note from the pictures Macten posted is that he half filled the bath with water whist Silicon was setting. The bath will rise and fall slightly depending on the weight in it, by filling the bath with water you are putting the bath in the middle of its two extremes. This helps to ensure that the Silicon does not debond at a later date. does that make sense?

You are very strange looking. I'm not sure the red hat suits your green skin.

ah see, that's one of the few things I have remembered.

Do I stick attempt to stick it on the walls along with tiles whilst the bath has water in it or out?

I know I'm supposed to do it with the Silicon sealant, I wasn't sure if the same applied when using one of those plastic strips

If using the bath seal strip you would have spread the adhesive on the wall and then pressed the seal into the adhesive and then tiled.........still Silicon sealing before all that because they are useless at stopping leaks.
