Hi,

Many years ago . . . . . . .  when I worked for a living, we regularly used Silicone as an adhesive/sealer for industrial ovens, Laboratory Freezers, and many other climate controlled "enclosures" for various customers.

Other colleagues (builders, carpenters, plumbers etc), also used a similar "Silicone" product for installing double glazing, conservatories, and sealing under and around sinks (small gaps). We simply referred to it as "Silicone".

I've been looking for a similar product recently, and am amazed at how far this industry has come. I see isles full of various tubes in Mitre 10, Bunnings and Hammer hardware (etc), all for different uses ranging from gap fillers, to non-curing moisture sealers, to roof & gutter sealants, bath sealers, anti-fungal products and the list goes on.

I'm looking for a product which can be applied via a caulking gun, can be "finished" by dragging a finger along it (water helps here), will stay reasonably flexible, but the skin hardens after 2 - 24 hours, and which has adhesive qualities to stick wood, metal, plastics etc together.

Having recently had a kitchen sink fitted by a local Kitchen Manufacturer, they used a very similar product to fit our sink into the worktop - made a lovely job. I've emailed them too, but so far no answer.

Any help appreciated.
