The best stuff I met was Dow Cornings as said. I tried to take some washbasins down that had been bedded with Dow. I took all the supports away and disconnected the pipework and they still stayed stuck to the wall. In the end it was a sledge hammer job and all it was was Dow Corning Silicone holding them on.

But its dear!

Don't forget Silicones come in a few varieties make sure the one you get suites what you want to do with it. Not all stick to PVC either and things with high movement such as window frames you are recommended to use Low Modulus, Neutral Cure Silicon. The lower the modulus the more movement it can take. Neutral cure is better adhesion to most things. And so on.

I once watched a documentary on silicone implants and they were made by Dow Corning.
Prefer naturals myself

I tend to use Dow Corning for general use and and use BAL or Mapei when I want a match to their grouts. They are both expensive but are a perfect colour match.

Badbob. Both will lead to tissues full of white stuff.
