Sealer to use on different surfaces?
My flat has one of those PVC (plastic?) front doors set into the (old) wooden
frame. Although it's all pretty secure, there are cracks/gaps which were probably created when the new door was put in, but never rectified. Is there any widely-available sealant I can use to cover these up - i.e. something that will adhere well to PVC/wood/paint? Cheers ... Mark |

Silicone is the common one which will adhere to virtually anything but of course won't take paint. So unless you can find a suitable self coloured one - it comes in clear, white, black, brown - you'd best use a polyurethane sealer. Here's a reasonably priced source if you can't find it locally - but check for postage costs before buying. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOSTIK--POLYURETHANE-SEALANT_W0QQitemZ320164185017QQcmdZViewItem -- *(over a sketch of the titanic) "The boat sank - get over it Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

It takes paint, which silicone doesn't. Not as rubbery as silicone, so make sure frame is well fixed in place first. |
