Hi,

due to a little mould, I replaced some silicon inside our relatively new double glazing earlier in the year.

Now, when it is very cold, it turns white, especially in the corners. It never done this with the old silicon (even last year when it was much colder). I bought good quality silicon recommended on this forum:

What could this be? Perhaps I've done something wrong when applying, I just stripped the old stuff, cleaned well, let dry and applied.

thanks,

gubar

Hi

first ill say Im no expert but from the link you have given it seems you have used bathroom sealant for sealing sinks baths etc. for windows you need framing sealant thats designed for this purpose.
