Hello,
I recently purchased at HD a small tube of:
GE Silicone II
100% Silicone Sealant Kitchen and Bath With Bio Seal
Haven't used a product like this in many years, and am wondering if I got the wrong "stuff," or if it is defective.
The way I remember 100% Silicone (used to be called RTV, I think; but this probably dates me) cured in a few hours to a rubber-like product. Tempted to call it a solid, but it would be a reasonably hard "rubber" when cured.
This stuff, after a day, still looks like it did when it came out of the tube. Perhaps a bit more solid, but certainly not rubber like. More like a Caulk, perhaps.
Doesn't the fact that the tube says 100% Silicone mean that it should, in a few hours, cure to a rubber like composition ?
Or, the fact that it says Kitchen and Bath mean that it is really a Caulk ? If so, what should I now buy instead, and what should the label say ?
Might it be an "old" tube ? What's the shelf life of this kind of product ? :
Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Bob
