I've tired boss white, silicone sealant and doing it up really,

Is there anything else I should try ?

I was given a tube of marine-quality silicone sealant.
It's a world away from the silicone sealants in the sheds.

Have a look at wwwrs.com for sealant, you want one that DOES not release
actic acid when curing, most DO!!


Thanks, that's what I'm using (more by luck than by judgement).
Probably inadequate surface prep. though.
