Silicone will fill it, but don't rely on it to seal. Make sure you get
your final seal, with the L profile, really watertight.

Troll? No.

I've never used silicone before. So am I to assume that 5/8" is way too
much? Why?
 
Grunff replied to Graeme on 20 May 2004
No, it's not at all too much, it's fine. RTV silicone as sold by the
sheds for bathroom use is a thick gel like substance, you can easily
fill an inch gap by overlapping beads of it.

The bloody fool had the cheek to tell me that he had me in his ignore
files. As if I could care. At least I don't have to ride herd on the
cowboy answering my posts.

I bet you can tell which house is his by looking at the doors in his
street.

Pity the fool who loses his tape measure.

Thanks.
I was going to rely on the L profile for the seal, and the silicone would
just add a bit of extra stability.
