Not had to use Silicone for a while ... and know products improve.
Putting in a new shower, under a sloping ceiling - will be cladding using waterproof (Respatex panels).
Last time I did this I used 'Dow Corning 785' ... as it has very good adhesive qualities as well as usual seal/gap filling use.
Is there a product thought of as the current best of the bunch silicone around ? .......... or is 785 still as good as it gets?
Going to need it in clear and white.
Siroflex products seem OK IME.
Mapei - less so - I've had some fail behind the bathroom basin after 3 years.

Just to close the loop ... looked at alternatives, and decided to stick with previous good performer ... Dow Corning 785
However Dow have now upgraded this to 785+ with enhanced anti-bacterial properties .... now the good point, ScrewFix etc. ... have this on sale at £5.99 a tube
Wickes have it on sale at £3.32 ... a significant difference, to get this deal its 3 tubes or more, even without discount price is good at £3.69
