Frequently Asked Questions
How long does clear silicone take to cure?
Clear silicone typically skins over in 10-20 minutes and is tack-free within an hour. It reaches full cure in 24-48 hours depending on temperature, humidity, and thickness of application. For best results, allow 24 hours before exposing to water or stress. Thicker beads may take longer to cure fully.
What's the difference between 2.8 oz and 10.1 oz tubes?
The 2.8 oz tube is perfect for small repairs, craft projects, or occasional use around the house. The 10.1 oz tube is a standard cartridge size that fits in caulking guns, ideal for larger projects like sealing multiple windows, bathroom installations, or when you need more coverage. Choose based on your project size and whether you're using a caulking gun.
Can I use clear silicone for aquariums?
Yes, 100% clear silicone sealant is commonly used for aquarium construction and repairs. Ensure it's labeled as 100% silicone with no additives, mildewcides, or anti-fungal agents that could harm fish. Allow full cure time (48-72 hours) before adding water, and rinse thoroughly. Clear silicone is preferred for aquariums as it remains invisible at seams.
Can I paint over clear silicone sealant?
No, paint does not adhere well to cured silicone sealant. If you need a paintable sealant, choose acrylic latex or hybrid sealants instead. Clear silicone's advantage is that it remains transparent and doesn't require painting - it blends seamlessly with glass, clear plastics, and most surfaces where visibility isn't an issue.
