FAQs for All Purpose Flexible Silicone Sealant
All Purpose Flexible Silicone Sealant Q I need a low modulus silicone sealant for use around window frames, will the All Purpose Silicone Sealant be suitable?
A No. That sealant is a high modulus type. Use Evo-Stik Silicone Frame Sealant which is both low modulus and a neutral cure system.
All Purpose Flexible Silicone Sealant Q The sealant in my bathroom has some black spots forming which I think are mould. Why is this happening as the sealant has a fungicide in it, and how can I stop it happening in the future?
A Fungicides only work if they are in contact with the fungus. This can be prevented if the sealant is covered with soap or grease. A good technique for removal and prevention of these stains is to wipe the sealant with dilute liquid bleach every few weeks.
