Silastic/Silicone


Does anyone know of a silastic type of product that stays flexible and does not attract dust?

I have a sealing job externally on the caravan.

I think I would be using Bostik "Seal N Flex"

available in lots of colours and made for sealing vehicle bodies I believe.

All the aforementioned sealants will attract dirt - this I know from personal experience. The best method is to use one the aforementioned sealants but keep the sealant gap to an absolute minimum.
Good Luck.

Ever notice that black silicon attracts light dust and white mould whereas white silicon attracts dark dust and black mould.

Being unaware of the exact problem makes it hard to recommend anything but if its only to seal rather than hold maybe some butyl mastic will do the job.
