[JASE]

Thanks mate the tape looks like a good option, although i will look out for the mapiea sealant in other places...

Mapei's Mapesil AC silicone is really good to use.. i use it all the time now and the best thing is that it comes in 26 colours + clear.

Also it is solvent free and does not stink like most other brands..

I had to do a job last year where i had to remove all the silicone around a bath....the women was convinced she had an allergy to the solvent in the sealer...I had to use Mapesil as it is solvent free!!!! Fruitcake or could this happen....silicone around bath was several years old?

[Dave]

Yes it happens.. i have heard of this thing before..

[david campbell]

it does happen but i would tend to agree on the fruitcake option after 7 years

Mapei sealants are good

still learning every day, hadn't twigged the solvent free thing before even though I use it. Generally use Everbuild Staywhite if not coloured though.
Do you have any silicon formers jase?
