I recently used GE silicone 2 to reseal a tank that I bought. I am reading now that it may not be aquarium safe? Did I screw up? Do I have to reseal the tank with proper silicone?
Does a sealant not have to "adhere" to its bonding surface in order to seal it? I'm genuinely interested. I tore one of my tanks apart that I've used ge1 on and it was just as much a pain as the factory silicone.Both GE I and II are garbage. They are sealants, not adhesives.
That said, if you like risk and want to attempt keeping a tank together with these, it doesn't matter what you use. Silicone is inert once fully cured, whether GE I or II. As long as you give it enough time you will be fine, at least fish wise. No promises it will hold long term.
