Which Silicone ?

[Ajh_89]

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 silicone.

 

[Andy Allen]

I like mapei..

 

[Dougs Third Go]

tilemaster silicones for me

 

[Rookery]

Dow 785 or Mapei

 

[RDTiling]

Dow 785 for me when sealing round baths and basins etc

 

[radim]

dow and mapei

 

[area tiling]

Tech 7 for baths , and evo stix for finishing !!

 

[Chalker]

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

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, silicone 3000 for colours, both lovely to apply and tool up really well.

 

[John Benton]

Benfer Schomburg to go with grout colours, have used Ottoseal for first time today, really liked it

 

[Time's Ran Out]

The man I get in uses Dow and Mapei.

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 silicone 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, silicone stinks of vinegar.

Tried the PCI grout once and what a gem to use...

The P.C.I Nano is like smooth fluffy cream, goes in nicely and is a pleasure to clean off. Hasn't it been rebranded B.A.S.F in U.K now?

 

[White Room]

Not sure but I'm positive someone will know...

 

[widler]

Tilemaster, superb stuff

 

[goz]

[MENTION=32839]Fliselege[/MENTION] have you tried the kerecolour S.F grout, pretty creamy compared to F.F and ultracolour, much easier to use

 

[Fliselege]

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.

 

[radim]

I believe that PCI pulled out from UK market....
might be wrong tho..

 

[goz]

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 silicone aswell. One mans trash is another mans treasure
