Silicone (GE II) too soft for roofing/siding or inside panels above/to extra shower?

silicone is an element on the periodic table.

That warranty is for the installed, hardened product not the "in the tube but not yet used" condition. I have found older silicon that has turned watery, or will not set or has already hardened in the tube. Use fresh stuff, especially, in below freezing temps.

once cured, that is true. uncured, there is a shelf life. read the tube. only buy it at a place that has a good turnover.

there is a difference between silicon and silicone besides an e.

So, do you believe what you _think_ you read. Or, do you believe the mess you have in the tube?

ok, I have 2 tubes of GE II Silicon-e with the "BATCH", & "USE BY" (all exact digits here):

BATCH 07A034 USE BY 1/09 (the white tube I used, waste dab runny mess after week at 13 Celcius: other unchecked: too high) BATCH 06F018 USE BY 06/08 (the brown tube unopened)

who has the decoder Morpheus?

Whats going on here?

In case you didn't catch that, what is 1/09 & 06/08?

I vote for 'old' . A fresh new tube will likely dry within 24 hours.

Month / Year

What is new?

If it is month/year then the brown is 7 month to go till it expires, and the white is 14 months to expiry.

Anyone got any clue as to what the maximum months before expiry printed on them might be. ie What is "right off the line" (in total months)?

Also, what is a good cure time supposed to be, say indoors at 22C, in the shower, before one could wipe it down gently with a rag. And what might I expect with the 7 and 14 months expiries I have. The open 14 month till expiry white was used outdoors (vertically on siding) and I planned on using it at 30 degeree slope on roof between shingles/siding, and the shower (not to be used for years) if enough left over. The brown also outdoors on the shingles/siding. Outdoors now is cold. The instructions say above 5C. What about if it were 10C or 20C or 30C; what to expect: from these tubes, and what is a good (new) tube.
