you've gotta admit, that sillycunt gets you out of a lot of trouble, and if its done neatly its a good job, a stanley knife will undo it and when the jobs over, a quick smear and a wipe with the magic finger, and bingo, roberts your dads brother,  |

Oh its brill. It's a sealant, a grab adhesive, cistern fixer-to-waller  It's best use though is it's a get-out-of-sweeping-upper, ''Sorry luv, I always sweep up after myself but I've siliconed and don't want to kick up any dust, can you do it in the morning flower?''  |

Reminds me of years ago, when I did a lot more commercial. Worked on a few Wetherspoons when it was a new idea and they were doing a lot of conversions. Like a lot of those types of sites, it's chaos with all the trades on top of each other. Being pubs, they have a lot of varnished/stained wood all over the place. Was always amazed to see a decorator using a sander, whilst a few feet away his mate was varnishing. Quality.
As for sticking cisterns to walls with sillycoon sealant. Had to do a new flush valve on a close coupled last year. The barsteward who had installed it must have used a whole tube of the stuff. Thought I was going to have to break the cistern to get it off. In the end had to use a cheese wire to saw away at the sealant between back of cistern and wall. I'm all for a couple of dabs to secure cisterns, etc - but why cover the whole back of the cistern? smiley-confused002asak2
