Depends on what you need to use it for, there's an amazing selection of different types of sealant, adhesive and hybrid sealant/adhesives, its about picking the right one for the right task.

Let's say as an adhesive to assist in fitting sinks, shower trays, toilets etc (I know not everyone uses them)

I really like CT1 for these kind of jobs. It's so good, even in the wet it works well. The only downside for me is I have to not let the product turn me into a bodger.

Been impressed with Everbuild Forever White. Recently went back to a bathroom I worked on 5 -6 years ago and its still perfectly white and they're hardly the most on top of keeping things spotless which I know plays a big part in keeping silicone discoloration free.

It is good stuff , think I have been using it over 10 years now, never seen any mould yet , but it does yellow. Big plus point is you can remove it with out too much trouble .

I think it was just over a year , it was a shower room I had fitted and I had was back servicing the boiler and ended up removing the silicone round the shower base and doing it again with ct1 for free

Unbelievable that lol , never happened to me , did you spray water on it or lick your finger ?

Dow Corning 785 used it for years white and clear , I also like ct1 but the white does go yellow over time which is a shame and you need their aerosol spray to tool it up properly. Kop
