Tips on grout

[Derbyboy]

Planning to seal between aluminum frame (window) and wood panel.

Need a sealant with the following:

-outdoor
-flexible (the sealant is exposed directly south)
-paintable
-black

Ms polymer.

Acts similarly to silicone when working with it but is better in every way and meets your requirements.

Tec 7 is perhaps the most well-known, but I mostly use abra's seal & fix, and it's good.

I have the impression that it becomes quite hard and not so flexible once it has cured. However, I might be wrong.

In my opinion, Sikaflex 111 is just as good as tec 7 but significantly cheaper.

Seal & Fix from Sunchem in Partille is also good (available at Ahlsell)

I actually have little knowledge about tec-7 but seal & fix becomes pretty much like a regular outdoor silicone, so I don't think there's anything better.

Sorry for my terrible filming (I'm sick and bored )

Probably only need one tube for all the windows, so the cost is not important.

I'm not very familiar with tec-7 actually, but seal & fix becomes almost exactly like a regular outdoors silicone, so I don't know if there's anything better.

Insanely valuable video! That's exactly how I think the seal should be.

I'll buy two tubes.

Thank you so much and get well soon!

That's correct!

Yes, the one called abra seal & fix, but it seems to be sunchem (as the post above mentioned) that manufactures them.
