Hi all -
Fitted a stainless steel 'sit-on' kitchen sink onto a cheap B&Q base unit yesterday. Instructions said to bed it on silicone sealant. I used a tube of trade Evode window silicone, which had been around for years but unopened. Tube says quick-skinning, high-adhesion, low-modulus, so it seemed ideal.
I noticed at the time that there was no vinegary smell, and 24 hrs later the surface hasn't skinned (in dry area, room temp). So I'm thinking now, was it out-of-date and if so what does that mean? I'd always assumed that if left for too long it would cure inside the tube, but this stuff seems to have lost it's mojo.
Can some kind expert tell me what happens to silicone sealant if it's left unused for too long?
TIA!
