drip from pan ???

[merseyscouse]

having just fitted a back to wall pan i now find a small drip coming from where the flush pipe enters the pan.... the seal is like a clear plastic finned device .
should i take it back out and seal it, if so should i use silicon or something like hawk white jointing paste

thanks in anticipation

Dry thoroughly and refit using sanitory sealer.

sanitory sealer... is that like jointing compound, plumbers mate, silicon???

Yep it's silicone, the sanitary sealer is better than standard silicone stuff on the market.

i disagree

but if you must use it make sure is not a tube of "this is sealant for any diy shed"

I dunno, I think Breezer is right about shed sealant. I have had shed-bought clear silicone sealant in the past that would turn white when subjected to a shower and shrunk within weeks.

I have found sanitary silicone to be very good though. Sticks like anything.
