Which Silicon ?

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.
 
What about the screwfix no nonsense Silicon????!.

get a box of it!
Great for weighing things down, or in a single tube it's great as a door stop! :lol:
 
Dow for white and clear, Silicon 3000 for colours, both lovely to apply and tool up really well.
 
Benfer Schomburg to go with grout colours, have used Ottoseal for first time today, really liked it :thumbsup:
 
The one I tried to use ONCE was messy...never again.

Whitebeam Do you mean the remover, I think it was called sil out , used to cut main body out with a blade then apply thin layer to remove residue , worked in small sections as could be a bit messy but seam to work well. Can you suggest a good one for me as asked to recommend quite often

It was something like the Everbuild Silicon eater I used...
 
I use P.C.I 99% of the time as that's what my main tile shop stocks, grout too. Sometimes a customer will insist on what they saw on display in other shops, so every now and again use Shönöx or Mapei if that's what they want, all the same to me, does the job. Hate mapei products, addy ok, grout crap, Silicon stinks of vinegar.

Tried the PCI grout once and what a gem to use...
 
[MENTION=32839]Fliselege[/MENTION] have you tried the kerecolour S.F grout, pretty creamy compared to F.F and ultracolour, much easier to use
 
Yes Goz, but with Mapei grout, I mix thoroughly, leave as long as I dare before washing, and it still dries patchy. Hate the stuff. Never ever had an issue with P.C.I.
 
It's funny how we all are all different in our likes for products, I find weber patchy but not mapei , never an issue, great Silicon aswell. One mans trash is another mans treasure
 
Very true. I think sigma is toilet too but I seem to be in a minority but hey ho. Will stick to P.C.I and Rubi and be a happy bunny ;-)
 
I believe that PCI pulled out from UK market....
might be wrong tho..
I've seen that said on here before, shame for you lot, great brand. Would be interested to know if it's just been re branded as B.A.S.F. Will have to do some internet research. Right after Top Gear. Unless Chatty Man is on too. BBC entertainment more entertaining than tiling on a Sunday night. Sometime later. ;-)
