Bathroom Sealant
Looking to remove the old silicone and reseal for a fresher look. What do you advise as the best bathroom sealant for around the shower tray, window and vanity/ sink unit. Looking into CT1, BT1 and Dowsil 785, struggling to separate them.
Any comment or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

"I personally use Downsil. CT1 is used more like a glue rather than a silicone that you put on your baths like Downsil or No Nonsense, etc."

"We always use Dow Corning or mapei brands. I’m not sure the others your considering are flexible enough and you need a sanitary to avoid bacteria build up."
