If you are connecting glass to glass though silicone I is actually a little stronger than silicone II, you still need to make sure you get the door and window version though. kim > Anyone use this with problems ? it says not for aquarium use, yet, it says > 100% Silicone, and doesnot mention anything about mildew additives ? > > ./thanks ? here in the uk I have been asked "do you want low or high medullas(spelling)" anyone know the difference ?

This is an RTV type of silicone adhesive, although it works Ok in most cases, it is not the best choice for use to build or repair aquariums. RTV type silicone adhesives are fairly high modulus, most fall into the ammonical humidity cure category. The preferred silicone rubber adhesives for aquarium use are of the low modulus HMA types in the acetic or acetoxy cure category. They have higher adhesion to glass, are slightly more flexible and hold tight at much higher psi ratings than the RTV types. RTV types of silicones can often be easily peeled off of glass. HMA types of silicones require one heck of a lot of scraping to get it off. TTUL Gary |
