Hi

What is the best bathroom sealant around shower trays for mould protection and longish (2/3 years) life. Someone mentioned Dow 785 but haven't used it so not sure.

Thanks

    none will work if you don't keep it dry/clean after use
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    Go to the Byretech Ltd website, sorry I can't do a link. Their website is good for all questions. We used them this year to buy a specialised shower curtain for a disabled shower cubicle.

    Just a tip for DIYers, don't buy too much, I have half cases of several brands that are only a year past sell buy and are solid, beware of short sell buys if buying online.
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
