Bad news about ge silicone ii
Comments (20)gardencraze, I use a drill press which makes it very easy. You have to keep water in the area you are drilling or you will burn your bit out REAL fast. Let the bit do the work, if you press too hard the plate or cup will break. Even being careful I still break some...also when the bit gets dull the breakage goes up. If you don't have a drill press you will have to be extra careful and it will definately take more time....Oh yea, good idea to wear a mask to avoid the dust....See MoreGE Silicon II question
Comments (10)Thank you for reassuring me. There's special silicone for windows and doors? Huh. Mine just says (GE logo on top) Silicone II 100% Silicone sealant And on the side it says "Household Glue". Also, I took the tube out in bright sunlight and found a date stamped at one end: "Use By 05/09" (well fizzle.) On the one hand, it's only August, the stuff came from inside a store rather than hanging on a rack outside, so perhaps it's not too old. OTOH, it is August, and there's no telling how old the stuff actually is. *sigh* I'm going out of town tomorrow for a couple of days, and these will sit undisturbed in the now tidy spare bedroom until I return to allow the "household glue" to set up. At that point, I guess I'll know whether to take them apart and try again with new glue, or start looking for nifty places to put them outside. For now, here they are: I'm glad y'all asked for pictures, as I can see the stack on the left is leaning and will have to be redone. I think it needs something wider/heavier as the second piece from the bottom. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a suitable goody at yard sales this weekend. ;^)...See MoreGE11 silicone
Comments (2)I'm not sure myself but if it says anywhere on it that it is a adhesive and sealant, that's what you want. Most people have said it says door and window on it....See MoreWhy GE silicone at all?
Comments (4)Yup, I use it cuz it's faster, just pop off the cap, and I use it for my GOG windows. Thinset is right up there too, I mix it in little yogurt containers(1 serving) and that works out great too. I used silicone for my frogs feet to adhere them, and did it cuz I was lazy and doesn't it figure I was delivering him to his new owners, and cracked it where his feet are attached!! so now I have to tear off his feet and remove the silicone and mortar the feet on...PITA!!!! (My project for today!)...See Morechickencollecter
