Hi, Can anyone recommend a good mildew/mould resistant frame sealant. Just removing wallpaper and painting the walls and I want to use a good sealant to minimise a return of the mould!. (For aluminium double glaze units if it matters). Thanks in advance

If this is internal, caulk should be used,sounds like silicone has been used instead and without a fungicide mould will grow
I've used several types of silicone with fungicide in the past in bathrooms, and can't say that I've noticed any difference at all in the growth of mould compared to 'normal' stuff.
Somebody once told me that you shouldn't use a biological tool (aka a finger) to shape the silicon bead as that introduces bugs before it's cured - sounds like total tosh to me. Anyone know if there's any truth in it?
