Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather spend £2.25 on Everbuild than £5 for the Dow but I just don't trust the Everbuild anymore. I do have a few tubes in the van that are supposed to be for the hidden seal on bath and tray but even then I still use the expensive Dow because if nothing else it dries quicker and will be a stronger seal.
 
I use Everbuild Forever white and clear, lovely to work with. For colours I use BAL, they have a new range of colours and Atlas, depends on whether the customer wants me to match the tile or grout colour on joints, and what colour is required.
 
I have to agree with Brinkley. It is a bugger to work with though no sinking at all. I suppose they all have there pro's & cons

Called my customer tonight & all seems good so the Micromax does what it says on the tube 🙂

Mapei coloured and Dow Corning white

Used Screwfix's own NO NONSENSE in clear and white for a job the other day and found it surprisingly good. Wont be replacing my Mapei and Dow stock though :thumbsup:
 
So, does that imply any situation where you are sealing sanitary ware?

What i'm getting at, is i haven't seen a neutral curing silicon that says Sanitary Grade on the tube. So what silicon are you using with stone tiles? Why does Sanitary Grade Silicon need to be used/what's the difference??
 
To be honest I only recall ever seeing sanitary grade written on the cheaper stuff, as if to make out its better, but as for me I prefer to use micromax for all applications, bit stiffer than most which I think is better.
