Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good mildew/mould resistant frame sealant. Just removing wallpaper and painting the walls and I want to use a good sealant to minimise a return of the mould!. (For aluminium double glaze units if it matters). Thanks in advance Dean |

If this is internal, caulk should be used,sounds like silicone has been used
instead and without a fungicide mould will grow |

Somebody once told me that you shouldn't use a biological tool (aka a finger) to shape the silicon bead as that introduces bugs before it's cured - sounds like total tosh to me. Anyone know if there's any truth in it? David |
