Phil ditto. Screwfix has it at £3.05 reduced from £4.55 then £4.45 Seems to be a bigger tube as well...It's a different Item Number as well so dunno if they are actually the same product but I think they are . http://www.screwfix.com/prods/57908/...-Sealant-White http://www.screwfix.com/prods/58308/...-Sealant-White |
