Mesh grill fixative
Hi all,
Got my sweaty mitts on a decent front grill and some stainless mesh, have cut out grill bars, sanded sticky up bits smooth and cut mesh roughly to size, Now what do I stick it in with. Was going to try and fibre glass it, but any better less messy ideas gratefully accepted. Regards Bob |

I don't know (never tried this) - but what about "no more nails" or similar product??

Do not try and work the silicone or it will get very messy. Any overspill can be wiped away with white spirit. |

I would agree with Ghost on the sealer idea but I have never done it so don't take my word. Could you post up pictures before, during and after if possible Thanks Ken |

Thanks for suggestions, knew I could rely on you guys.
Going to go with the silicone, less messy and possibly cheaper. Will take pics as requested, will have to be next weekend, work takes priority, unfortunately Regards Bob |

If you wish run two beads adjacent to each other as in train tracks, leave a gap between to aid faster drying. Thicker it is the longer it will take to cure right through.
