Bought some silicone yesterday from Homebase ...simply because I needed it and happened to be there to buy a piece of acrylic sheet...all the silicone I had at home was white and I wanted clear. Tried it later on when I got home and it is 'orrible stuff to work with .has an unpleasant texture when coming out the nozzle unlike any other stuff I have used .. perhaps the instructions hould have warned me ..It says it skins over in 5 minutes but takes 48 Hrs to be fully dry .It is described as "a neutral silicone sealant" which apparently means it does take forever to set completely . Even now some 12-14 hrs later some of the silicone that I scraped off is still very sticky . Anyone used it before? The only good thing about it was the screw -on cap on the nozzle.
