Can I use kitchen / bathroom sealant for sealing round the internal side of
a PVC external door?
I have several tubes of this left over so would save me trip.

Thanks

Yes but silicone won't take paint. If you ever want to paint right up to the
pvc then use acrylic frame sealant.

Thanks guys for the advice.
I've also got several tubes of decorators caulk. I suppose I could use that
if I wanted to paint right up.

Cheers.

Caulk is less flexible than either silicone or acrylic frame sealant so could
well open up in this sort of situation. Think of silicone & other frame
sealants as gourmet sausages and caulk as insert dodgy sprmrkt chain
name here's sawdust filled bargain cheapies.

ps: pls don't actually use sausages to fill the gap
