Ask your QuestionCan I use sanitary sealant instead of glazing silicone for bedding an interior window’s pane of glass into it’s frame ? It seems to be a very similar product, ie flexible, waterproof, acetoxy, and I happen to have a tube left over from a recently fitted bathroom. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.

Answered on 25th Nov 2020 - Member since Aug 2020 - report"The only main difference I know is when fitting double glazed units the sealants with high solvent based are advised against being used as they would break down the seal.
A single pane of glass though. I would think it should be ok. In truth though just get putty or butyl putty for bedding in double glazing. Easy."
