Review on Dow Corning Silicone Building Sealant: Superior Sealant for Lasting Structural Protection by Bim Cook

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This stuff is amazing!

Bought after today's Boatworks review to use in rebuilding butterfly hatches on my boat. I used it as window glass glazing and it worked great! Easy to dose with a standard cartridge gun and to clean with benzine. I glued the spots around the glass, laid a thick roller along the hatch, worked with an awl and pressed the glass into their recesses. I put enough pressure on the 795 to seep a bit on top and bottom to get 100% coverage, let it dry, cut it with a razor and boy does it look great and do a great job as a sealer . I liked it so much that I bought another tube to complete another part of the project. There was more than enough in the tube to fit 4 glasses 11"x7". Great stuff and I think it's a better sealant for this application than using some of 3M's more durable products.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No cannon
