Advice on sealant for waste trap..

[ray316]

Fitting a new shower tray and have the hi flow waste trap to fit.... The infomation says put sealant on the rubber seal (under the tray) and sealant above the tray before tighting the assembly together..
So which sealant is best to use for this job as l dont fancy taking this to bits again for leaks...
Also as l'm putting sealant on top of the seal , would you put sealant at the bottom of the seal also..

i normally use a clear silicone and i silicon both sides of the rubber washer, gioves a better watertight seal

It says in the instructions to silicone the top of the seal, so is it ok to silicone the bottom of the seal also.

As i said previously mate, i seal top and bottom, done it like that for about 30 yrs and never had a problem, or should i say my customers have never had a problem
