Which silicon do you guys use for showers - TilersForums.com

[Archie69]

hi there once again, just a quick one, I've used all different brands of silicon, but recently used Mapesil AC. After six months got a call back to say silicon is coming away, when I applied it both bath and porcilane where clean and dry. What are your thoughts on this, I've recently picked another tube up to go and put it right and have noticed this stuff is solvent free? Never noticed that on Dow Corning? Would that have made a great difference?

Mapei AC unless it's stone than LM. Exterior work and swimming pool applications we've started using the mapei primer FD.
