One question please. You say silicone - not sealant?
A quick look today in the DIY store shows rows of 'silicone sealant'.
Costs around £3-5. Are we talking about something else?
Do you know any brand names I can look for?


You should really be looking for a 'structural' silicone sealer.
Generally, these are silicone acetate, and smell vinegary whilst
uncured. Dow Corning 797 is excellent, but has a long cure time (about
7 days) Dow Corning 791 would probably be ok for this application.

Hope this helps,
