Hi there,

 

Hopefully a quick and easy Q, for you guys in the know!

 

I'm looking for a decent translucent sealant, and wondered if anyone could recommend something please? A few basic details, if this helps:

 

• For exterior use (mostly around window frames)
• Translucent (definitely not 'clear' or white) - i prefer the 'opaque' look where possible, as it'll be used against various materials and gives the most consistent finish
• Silicone based, unless anyone thinks a caulk is superior?
• Preferably something readily available (eg: Toolstation/Screwfix, etc)

 

This seems to be in with a good shout 🤔

Many thanks, as always

Soudal Silirub 2 in neutral is what I use for sealing around exterior, windows etc.

Brilliant - many thanks, Eric

PS - do you mind me confirming: does the 'clear' one dry to an opaque colour, please?

 

I think white will be too harsh in some areas. Likewise, clear (if it cures as 'fully clear') can also be unsightly

Yes, it is basically opaque straight out of the tube. It’s neutral rather than clear.

Mamy thanks, Eric - exactly what I was after 😀
