What to use to seal around my new shower tray?
I've heard that things like ct1 are in fashion but its bloody expensive. I bought some Puraflex 40 from toolstation thinking it might be a good compromise? But just before I use that I thought I'd ask if that would be ok or should I get somewthing else? Plan would be to use the white puraflex round the tray then grout-matched grey colour on the walls (fk knows how it will look at the corners where they overlap).

you dont want to use CT1 round the tray for finishing it discolours and goes from white to yellowisish, it is the dogs bollocks at sicking shit down though.

Dow Corning
I’ve tried loads & Dow Corning is the only one not to go mouldy so far

Cheers for the replies. I'll get some of the mould spray (when I've next go to spend 20+ at AMAzon since its an "add-on" item) or maybe I'll look if its on ebay.
Anyway, last question is coz I'm a dafty I've left a reasonable 2-3mm gap around the try but in the vertical internal angles where the walls meet I've got some big gaps so will need to use a thick bead maybe 12mm 8-(. I mean the gap is max about 8mm but thinking I'll need a bigger bead to flood and cover it.
I've got some ripoff mapei colour matched silicone. So my question is should I used that both for the tray and the walls or just use on the walls and use white on the tray? And which to do first?
Edit: I suppose what I'm really asking is what would you do (I know you wouldn't have fucked up the tiles creating gaps in the first place but just suppose you had!). What colours and thicknesses would you use for both kind of beads?
Edit2: And thanks for the tip about Corning for white - I'll use that from now on.
