angel al Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Just wondering where to buy black silicone in Edmonton without paying an arm & a leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaFishMommy Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 home depot carries various colours of GE 2 silicone. from what i've read GE2 is safe for aquarium use. i think i saw black when i was in there a little while ago to buy tubing, at the whitemud and 17 street location.

Wingin' It Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I have re-sealed a tank once, but used GE Silicone I, not 2. Found this in the DIY section. the ge silicone 1 i think it says not for aquarium use. or not for under water, something like that but not sure..it is safe, they just put it on there for there own protection.just make sure you get ge silicone 1 doors and windows, not bath and sink, bath and sink is bad. it has some sort of anti fugus or anti mold stuff in it which is bad.also, silicone 2 is not the right stuff.make sure that the silicone is dry for 24 hours before you put it in the tank. also while siliconing you should not even be near your aquarium because of the amonia or something that comes from the uncured silicone. also should be in a well ventilated area. it will stink. and the fumes are bad for you, i think you would have to be working with the uncured silicone for years for it too be bad for you.

BettaFishMommy Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 did a little bit of research and it seems the concensus is that as long as it is 100% silicone and has no mold/mildew inhibitor ingredients you should be fine. i have no personal experience using silicone.... yet. lol.
