Hi all

About 3 years ago I siliconed a small china type wash hand basin to the
usual type of kitchen/bathroom worktop the sheds sell.

The silicone has lost its bond to the whb which is now free moving.

The whb has no other way of being fixed.

Do I silicone it again or is there something that would fix it better?

The joint is in direct eyeline from anyone sitting on the loo so don't
want anything too messy.

TIA for any ideas

Hugh.

redo with MS Polymer - e.g. "Stixall"
Toolsatan used to do various reasonable priced MS polymer stuff - try
a search there for an idea....

I think they're still the cheapest for Stixall but for one-off a tube of
Sticks Like Sh*t isn't going to break the bank. And I noticed Screwfix
have various MS polymer types too - the keyword seems to be
'sealant/adhesive'.

How does Stixall compare to Pinkgrip? I only ask as I "saw the light" last
week. Do I need to see it again? Are they similar products or do they have
radically different applications?

mmm Well I suspect Pinkgrip been around for donkeys?
ISTR MS polymer being "new" (or maybe just cheaper enough) about 2
years ago?
It's now turning up "everywhere"
Also increasingly not necessarily listed "fairly" by favourite online
stores i.e. cheap product is an MSpolymer but no mention of "MS
polymer" in it's description, that's saved for more expensive ones ;)

Evo Stick Nail & Seal. B&Q stock it, about £6 a tube.

I've sorted some vary nasty hotel bathroom seal jobs with it.

Doesn't smooth quite as well as silicone, but OK if you don't leave it
too long.

The difference is that Stixall is a sealant and adhesive guaranteed to
stick to and seal damp surfaces, Pinkgrip is only spec'd as an adhesive
(not sure about damp). They both made by Everbuild.

Not used Stixall but have used competing new generation stick & seals
and they don't have the grab of the adhesive only product.
