Shower sealant

[sprocker]

I need to re-seal around the shower cubicle in our P40 en-suite, can anyone recommend the best type of sealant?

I'm unsure whether using a standard domestic sealant will stand up to the movement, or if one of the Sikaflex sealants would be better, and possibly more flexible.

You use standard silicone but make sure you remove all the old and prep it well as if not than ( in my experience ) is where it then tends to fail due to movement

As above preparation is the key to getting a good seal and if you use this stuff I don’t think you will have a problem.

I've just recently completed a cloakroom and bathroom... Used a Fugi tool for finishing the sealant... I thought I'd done well in the past with sealing edges but the Fugi made the finish so much better.

Check out videos on You Tube ...

I'm wondering how well the Fugi tools will do with CT1.. Could be worth a try.

do they do clear and could it do around windows

Yes - and it's really crystal clear and doesn't go cloudy. Worth using their multisolve product as a cleaner/primer and useful for getting a good finish and cleaning up. They also do a silver that's pretty good to ( a silver rather than a grey).

The Fugi Kit is brilliant. I bought a kit after watching this video:

I'll be off to buy some CL1 today and will be using a Fugi.

I think this was the first video I watched showing the Fugi...

It does make getting a professional looking finish much easier.
