Favourite Silicon.

[enduro]

Just wondered what Silicon fellow tilers like to use, as their are soooo many to choose from. As the vary so much, some are lovely to use and some are awful. If there is a thread already started about this?

A thread some where ye!! but an upto date one is ok...maybe a poll if you like...


For me at present i have been using everbuild white and cream but past few weeks have had all ivory coloured grouts so have been trying mapei jasmine Silicon and it's nice to use...

Mapei would be my 1st choice but i use others too, mainly DGS from local supplier in white, Bal and Dunlop were good too.
Most domestic clients are wanting coloured Silicon so Mapei gets used most. Site work is mainly white though.

I love the mapesil too,great stuff but a bit pricey over here as usual,i'v tried panabond lately too,not bad at all and TT do coloured gear thats nice too.

i get on well with the mapei silicones,tried dow corning and i know its meant to be a good one but i hated it,,or it hated me rather:lol:

dow corning for me, I find it best if I put tube in hot water for a few minutes, it seems to run better

Used to use forever white switched to dow corning 785 now find it much better. Also mapei for colour matching excellent!

i have tried lots over the years always found dow corning good to use but the ivory colour is a wierd shade ,the mapei Silicon is also great easy to use and a good colour palette
a tip for thosese who intend using Silicon near limestone you must use an anti staining Silicon as the regular ones bleed into the stone

 

[Gazebo]

Mapei if coloured, and Dow Corning for white. mind you evo stick trade sanitary Silicon from Grahams is pretty good but i mainly use that for sticking baths and shower trays in.:8:

 

[White Room]

Everbuild forever white but for colours will use mapei Silicon
