Window Frame Sealer - Is there a Best-of-Breed?
Hi all
For bath sealing and the like, I always use Dow Corning 785 - proven quality, supporters in this group etc.. Is there a similar top product for sealing uPVC window and door frames? I see that Dow Corning do a sealer for this, 796, but have not used it. Any recommendations from users (the sealant used on some refurb work I had done a couple of years back has discoloured and looks cr@p) TIA Phil |

I use Arbomeric MP10 mostly, but not for much better reason than it being reasonably priced quality brand, from an outlet on my route to work. |
