Hi

I have removed my water filler point along with my 240v socket outlet to repair some corrosion. When I removed them the gasket seemed to be a monstrous amount of some kind of grey sealant.

What is the best thing to use to replace? Is a sealant the way to go, or is some kind or rubber gasket a better option?

Thanks

Silicon gasket rather than rubber I'd say. I bought one of those silicon sheets you lay on worktops to avoid damage from hot pans. They're great for cutting up for gaskets like that - cheap too.

As ^^^^^ £1 silicone baking sheet from pound shops make good gaskets!

Thanks Guys,

I'll head to poundland now!

Cheaper in the 99p shop

Sounds like what your describing, very easy to work with

Sorry MM I've got all the cabinets back in and will have to fund a good pic. If I understand the oversill correctly then I followed CovKids advice and trimmed it back yto good steel arrested and painted it. Hopefully this will let it breathe , I have also opened up the drain holes at the bottom so no water should sit there.

I'll find the pics and post then in the other thread.

That ebay link doesn't seem to work for me lloydy.

Cheers

strange, does for me

It's coming up as item has been removed. Not sure why.

Thanks working now, got it on my laptop but won't open on my phone. That looks great for my rectangular power socket, but I may struggle with the round water filler.

Ill give the silicon a go.

Thanks all

The stuff lloydy links to us fine and works easy on curves

Slightly off topic Oldie, is that a works Panasonic Toughbook?

Haven't worked for 25 years! Just an old one that came with a job lot years ago.
