What adhesive do I use?

AKRIL ADHESIVE SYSTEM

Akril recommend using the Bostik V60 neutral cure 
silicone. Only neutral cure silicones should be used, this 
will ensure there is no bleed through the painted finish. 
When used in wet areas they must be used according to 
instructions as detailed (see from page 25 onwards).

Silicon Join

GENERAL SILICON SYSTEM

Silicon jointing systems are acceptable for use in both wet 
and dry areas. In all instances standard glazing industry
