Does anyone know if you can use Permatex RTV silicone adhesive sealant #66BR?
Here are the chemicals in it

POLY (DIMETHYLSILOXANE),HYDROXY TERMINATED
AMORPHOUS SILICA
DISTILLATES (PETROLEUM),HYDROTREATED MIDDLE
ETHYLTRIACETOXYSILANE
METHYLTRIACETOXYSILANE
ACETIC ACID

Those are the chemicals off the MSDS sheet.

Thanks,
Jim

NO!!!! you need 100% sillicone

I second that. Do not use that product.

"100% silicone" contains all of listed chemicals you stated. Silicone is a synthetic, they all contain this crap. the 100% typical means that there are no fungicides or anything extra in addition to the standard composition of silicone. The chemicals listed on your product match those of DAP 100%; the acetic acid also portrays the method of curing, you will find acetic acid in silicone marketed for aquariums. I would honestly say you are good. If it will make you feel better though go to Lowes and get one that says 100% on it haha

i am not responsible for the outcome of using this product

I did some research on DAP's aquarium silicone. It's MSDS only lists the ethyl and methyl, but also states that's only 1-5% of the product. Interesting.

Long story short I used DAP 100% from lowes to coat some magnets holding up a frag rack and I've had no adverse effects.

I always use GE Silicone I

I always use GE Silicone I

i thought you could only use the ge silicone II

oh well

Silicone II is the one with Mold Inhibitors in it. You definitely don't want to use that one.

I dont know what the MSDS looks like for silicone, but as long as you use 100% silicone you are okay. I use the GE I forget if it is I or II but its the one without mold inhibitors. Don't get anything fancy, nothing fast curing, or 1 hour rain ready or whatever. Just regular, boring, 100% silicone.

Jim, I have an unopened tube of the Loctite clear that I never got around to using. It is yours for free if you want it.

GE Silicone I is all I ever use now. Use to buy the aquarium silicone for twice the price. If you are doing a tank buy painters tape to tape the corners. Makes them look better than factory beads.

Thanks for the offer but I picked some up this afternoon.
