  Dibond Silicone

  Whats the silicone called that they used between dibond sheets to allow for the expansion due to heat etc?

  Oh sorry I don’t mean the core. I mean when you butt up two sheets together and you want to fill the gap between the sheets? Maybe its a sealant?

  quote Jason Xuereb:

  Shouldn’t be a gap Jason, use a backing strip to join the panels.
  As Kevin says Dibond and the like has a very small expansion rate.
