Don't see the point in using it underwater, unless I've flooded the bloody place.

Dow Corning goes black within a year or so, where used in places that are damp, like showers. Forever white is easier to use & garanteed to stay white 10yrs. Tec 7 is hard to use as a sealant, but grips clean surfaces well. The flex rubber strips that adhere to bath or shower tray, make a good upstand.

Dow goes black? then we are all done for! There's me thinking it was Rolls Royce stuff. :angry_smile:

I've never had any problems with Dow 785 and use it most of the time. I must admit I haven't tried many others brands, but I have used Ceresit once or twice and that seemed okay.

One make of bath/shower seal is " Classic Seal ". It is a thin rubbery strip about 50 mm wide & you can get it in various lengths. Half of the width of it has a thick black adhesive & it comes with a paper you peel off as you stick it to tray/bath. It bonds immediately, so got to be right, but easy enough fit. It allows about 15mm movement I think. You end up with a 25mm thin up stand which can be tiled over. Really simple solution!
