Seems like good stuff anyway. Now if I could only find something to put
between the bottom of a wash basin (on the ceramic) and the rubber seal
thingy that is supposed to make a watertight seal. Damn thing drips
slightly when the sink is emptying. Any suggestions?
Undo, apply silicone, re-do :-}
(need to do our kitchen sink)
I used a smear of silicone sealant when I did the job, but I think the
joint got rotated very slightly while getting the sink / pipework into
place - this may have broken the seal.
I'd have thought that some sort of water repelling / none setting grease
would be better for this job than silicone sealant. It would be more
forgiving of minor movements. Does such a thing exist?
The DIY stores here in France have lots of mysterious silicone based
stuff in small tubes that are hideously expensive. Maybe one of them is
what I'm suggesting? Trouble is, not only is the writing on them in
French, its also too damn small to read anyway.
