S3 is the best product to use when dealing with wet areas that you need to be watertight. As opposed to other silicones and acrylics used throughout the home these are mould and fungal resistant so are perfect for areas with a lot of condensation and damp.
So not only do they provide a hygienic and waterproof seal they will also help protect against bacteria and mildew thanks to the fungicides.
S3 bathroom sealant drying time
Silicone doesn’t technically dry, it hardens. It takes about 5-10 minutes for this process to start and it becomes hard to work with. Then after about an hour, it should begin to appear dry to the touch. Although be careful! As that’s only the outer layer and it might take as much as 24hrs until the hardening process completes. However, its worth noting that not only is the temperature of the room a factor, but also the thickness of the silicone strip is that more critical. Therefore if you’ve got any thick patches to give them longer to settle.
How come my bathroom sealant turned yellow?
Often this is caused by an overexposure to heat and light but there are several other reasons as well. Including chemicals from cleaning products and other adhesives.
