Ed, thank you so much. I have been looking at what to use for the sealing as the recommended Lexen brand is not available in Australia. One tube came with the POD from Leo but not enough to complete the whole job. I could see by what was used by Leo and what he also mentioned that I would need something better that silicon sealing compound.
Your timing could not be better
Just need to find one in grey or clear.

Any movement in the slab / pod joint will stay sealed and waterproof.
From memory it is a little more expensive than silicon but better in the long run.
There are many on the market here is one at Bunnings.
