Sealing around heating pipes

MichaelR · 2009-09-08 19:39:15

Is there a suitable sealant that one can use around heating (radiator) pipes, indoors? It has to be flexible as the pipes can contract and expand a bit, and it has to be non-toxic and not to release any fumes when heated up to 70 degrees Celsius... Linseed putty is the only thing I can think of, as it probably has nothing…
