Im going to be fitting a viewing panel to my plywood build this weekend and I would like to use black silicone for a neater finish. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=322133&page=5

Does black silicone have the same adhesion properties as clear?

It will be used to stick my acrylic panel to black rubber pond paint.

I know silicone and acrylic is not the best plan but there is no pulling force, the water pressure will be pushing against the silicone. if it becomes a problem I will put a strip of resin around the acrylic so the silicone sticks.

I have tested silicone on the rubber paint and it sticks like crazy.

Any experience or ideas?
