EVO-STIK Plumber's Mait, Non-Setting Putty for Sanitary Joints, Permanant Flexibility, Waterproof, 750g

It’s OK

Great product, Must-have in the house!

This review is for Plumber's Mait® 1.5kg 456105 As everyone knows by now, those seals under vintage antique porcelain pedestal sinks, enameled tubs and shower trays with new rubber seals to the drains are going to leak without plumbers putty that never hardens or cracks or dries out. Drips or tiny leaks rust your basins and trays right through and we all know what it costs to replace them, if they can be replaced, and most are likely out of manufacture. Besides the labor and expense, small leaks cause permanent damage over time to floors and walls. Consider plumbers putty preventative maintenance. Not everything precious or irreplaceable from yesteryear was manufactured with CNC to high tolerances to prevent drips. Yes, I have to use it often when new rubber seals should have been sufficient. Highly recommended.

This makes the sealing job 100x easier and faster. No drying time like silicons. No mess like silicons. No Clean Up like silicons. Mate, should have got this donkey yrs ago!

I recently had the chance to use EVO-STIK Plumber’s Mait, and it has proven to be an invaluable addition to my toolkit. This non-setting putty is specifically designed for plumbing applications, and it performs exceptionally well in various scenarios. Pros: 1. Non-Setting Formula: The putty remains pliable and doesn’t harden over time, which is perfect for applications that might require future adjustments or maintenance. This feature ensures a long-lasting seal without the worry of the putty becoming brittle. 2. Versatility: It works effectively on a variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, and ceramics. I’ve used it for sealing around sinks, bathtubs, and pipes with great results. 3. Ease of Use: The putty is easy to apply and mold into the desired shape. It adheres well to surfaces, ensuring a watertight seal, and requires no special tools for application. 4. Durability: Despite its non-setting nature, it provides a robust and reliable seal that withstands water pressure and temperature changes, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor plumbing tasks. Cons: 1. Residue: Because it doesn’t harden, it can leave a bit of residue if it comes into contact with other surfaces. Care is needed during application to avoid mess. 2. Appearance: The putty remains visible and doesn’t blend in with surrounding materials. This isn’t a major issue for hidden plumbing work but could be a drawback for visible areas. Overall, EVO-STIK Plumber’s Mait is a highly effective product for any plumbing job requiring a non-setting sealant. Its ease of use, versatility, and durability make it a reliable choice for both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts. While it does have some minor drawbacks, the benefits it offers far outweigh them, making it a must-have for plumbing maintenance and repairs.

I ordered this putty because I had a leak from my kitchen sink. It’s very easy to apply and it’s still going strong a week later. It’s a fantastic product and I highly recommend it! I would advise to wear disposable gloves as it’s hard to wash off of your fingers and it’s not a good idea to wash it down a sink as it will clog it up. I also used it around the bottom of the toilet to stop a water leak.
