Seal for a Ceramic Hob

Eurorunner

I bought a ceramic hob second hand and installed it - all working fine. There is the remains of a seal on the underside of it to attach it seamlessly with the worktop. I need to get my hands on one of these. Are these available in most builders merchants/diy places?

I presume you mean the stuff thats like putty and in long strips? I'd say you should be able to get it in any of the bigger DIY outlets, but one place for sure to get it would be Mastercare.

Used to be able to get that foam like draught excluder from most builders providers on a roll. It had a self adhesive on one side. Probably get it in B&Q or woodies. Would clear silcone not do?

hi

I wouldn't use the draught excluder on a roll,whilst it would do the job
when the hob is cold, most likely it'll melt with the heat from the hob and destroy your counter top, the same most likely would go for using silicon :eek:

Whereabouts are you? you'll be able to get the required sealer
in any electrical appliance repair shop, i would think B&Q, woodies etc would be a waste of time for this one

Trust me, silicon will work fine. There is not a chance of it melting.

I have a gun already loaded up with white silicone - still a bit of finishing off to do in the bathroom.
So this will be ok for the hob then?

<EDIT> Just looked at the tube ...Durabond General Purpose Silicone - withstands temperatures from -50C to 150C...i guess that covers it then!</EDIT>

you learn something new every day, i didn't think silicon was reliable
up to 150c
