Silicone Sealant for Bathroom

[blueST]

Plumber is fitting bathroom as we speak and i am going to pick up the silicone he needs. What is the absolute best in terms of longlife, resitance to mould, staying white etc. etc? There is a massive array of different types available.

Dow Corning 785

Comes in clear or white.

(should get it in most plumbers/builders merchants or screwfix).

[Mr Fenix]

Dow Corning.

Seconded


It really is the best stuff available and is actually cheaper than some of the tat B n Q sell.

Thanks Chaps. Dow Corning ordered.

Is there a way to fit (say...) a bath or shower cubicle, so that when its in use the sealant isn't put under tension and split over time?
