(Am I just being daft here - the vinyl is laid on top of easily water
damaged chipboard flooring)

Anyway, that's by the by. I am useless, USELESS with a sealant gun.
If I try and do it myself with a cartridge gun and sealant I'll make
such a mess.

Very little practice required to get a perfect finish.



Hm. That seems to require me to run a silicone bead first, it'll still
be horrid :-( what on earth would I do with the excess half a tube of
silicone that would inevitably be spread all over the floor, wood, ceramics?
