Not had to use Silicone for a while ... and know products improve.

Putting in a new shower, under a sloping ceiling - will be cladding
using waterproof (Respatex panels).

Last time I did this I used 'Dow Corning 785' ... as it has very good
adhesive qualities as well as usual seal/gap filling use.


Is there a product thought of as the current best of the bunch silicone
around ? .......... or is 785 still as good as it gets?

Going to need it in clear and white.

Siroflex products seem OK IME.

Mapei - less so - I've had some fail behind the bathroom basin after 3
years.

Just to close the loop ... looked at alternatives, and decided to stick
with previous good performer ... Dow Corning 785

However Dow have now upgraded this to 785+ with enhanced anti-bacterial
properties .... now the good point, ScrewFix etc. ... have this on sale
at £5.99 a tube

Wickes have it on sale at £3.32 ... a significant difference, to get
this deal its 3 tubes or more, even without discount price is good at £3.69
