Too true Paul.

I’ve seen it fail

@@RealBoiJare wasn't done right so

@@paulcloona9331 it just got old and started pealing away, creating a leak

Thanks Stuart.

Thanks Mike.

It works.

I agree.

Yes it`s good stuff.

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes a good all rounder.

No problem 👍

Great stuff.

Loads of basins etc using this stuff.unfortunately some people never rolled it enough and their sausage was too stiff,ooh matron,resulting in the wastes leaking when the hot water getting to it,then some idiot decided silicone was better.unless you have to remove the waste later.sometimes the old ways were better.good info on here

Here here good on yer Thomas.

Ha ha thanks Paul Mait.

Very true! Cheers PB.

@@dereton33 Mmmmm! Doughnuts! See: Homer Simpson

Could be

Great days.

Good luck.

So what happened?

Yes it is ideal for there.

No not copper.

Yes you can!

Certainly is.

With silicone you need to wait atleast an hour before testing for leak. But with plumbers mait you can check it straight away and is also easy to clean. This is why I prefer plumbers mait over silicone.

Yes, absolutely

@dereton33 fantastic. Thanks for getting back to me. The plumber who fitted it used silicone, but everywhere! In the thread, under flange, on the rubber seal ring. It was a mess, all brown mouldy and very wet and it had failed badly. Caused a lot of damage to the wood joists. I put a new one on, but it's leaking, possibly an imperfection on the tray waste hole. Will try plumbers mait. Thanks again much appreciated.

Yes it is very good for that.

Yes

Yes that is right Fred. Good luck with it.

@@dereton33 Cheers, i think its Ron?, would you just clean the surfaces and put the bottom seal in dry, or put some plumbers mate or grease or some thing on it, and i presume at the pan end of the pipe the big white cone thing is the only seal, nothing inside Fred

Manufacturing tolerances or laziness/cheapness. I’ll let you decide!

@@CallumAtwal well not sure if am honest I only ever do DIY plumbing but when I have put radiators on some say 7 times round with PTFE some say 14 ,others say use locktite. Should be ready to install with nothing I think.

@@JR-1983 yep same I only do DIY. radiators are the biggest culprit ive seen. The rads from Screwfix require so much PTFE to make a seal it's unreal

Welcome to the world of plumbing ha ha.

@@dereton33 dragons den idea then ready to go valves hahah

No..

@@dereton33 Thank you Sir!

Yes, absolutely

@dereton33 Great, thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't sure if there would be too much pressure for it. It only leaks when the bath is over 1/4 full, anything less isn't enough pressure by the looks of it.

Another question: Should I throw the seals or use it with them? Cheers

Great, never to late to learn .

Since when do donkeys have sinks?! Wokeness gone mad.

Me neither. All the best mate.

@@dereton33 👍

Can you get back to a compression fitting then you could remove the pipe and fit a cap on the fitting. You will have to drain down though.

Thanks for the reply. Sadly draining down is not an option. I am looking for something that I can put over the leak. I read about epoxy putty. I am tempted to try that.@@dereton33

Too true ha ha.

Can be many things Im afraid. It will need looking at first hand.

@@dereton33 If I can find a plumber. The expense of a replacement isn't appealing.

Baxi Bermuda is a simple backboiler and unless it's on a sealed system there is no reset.

On reflexion, if it's one of the last variants with electronic ignition then poor pilot fllame/ flame supervision most common issues. Pcb failures also common. Your best bet is a Baxi one off service call. Unless the heat exchanger leaks, it's worth fixing.

@@johnward5006 Mine does have a switch. And it says to wait 10 seconds and turn it back on.

It can be used on plastics.

Nothing it's great stuff 👌

Cany beat the mait.

The crap way.

It was easier to get the camera round the back of the pan to film than my other WC.

Great advice. Am about to do a video on this very subject.

Sticky stuff once on your hands its hard to remove, stuff fixed with it is difficult to remove.. Hate it.

@@dereton33 if you are jobbing plumber like me silicon denzo tape always save the day👍

It says on the side of the tub to get rid of of excess to rub some more plumbers mate against it !

​@dereton33 I agree. When a toilet syphon fails, you're having to scrape off the old silicone because the new doughnut washer won't sit properly. If you apply silicone and it leaks, then you have to take all the gunk off a start again. Same with the basin waste. I repaired it when someone put silicone on the lip of it and it failed.

Washers always fail and silicone makes it impossible to remove sanitaryware stuck with the stuff. Plumbers mait anytime proven over the last 60 years.

Best stuff since sliced bread. Mait that is.Ha ha.

I wish.

@@dereton33 I always have some plumbers mate around. It does give an excellent seal. The one place I don't use it is on a sink or bath waste where it can be seen (inside the basin), because over time it stains & starts to look grubby. I use clear silicone wherever the seal needs to remain neat. Sting is starting to look a lot like you as he ages btw. No sh*t.

Thanks.
