    Default 100% silicone aquarium sealant ?

    Hi All

    I have used 100 % aquarium /silicone sealant in an enclosure ( Marineland brand ).
    It is not being used to hold water, but is being used to hold an enclosure object against the glass.
    The holding power will be find - as I have tested that.

    My question is: What is a safe waiting period before exposing the frogs to it ?

    A frog could be in a situation where it would be sleeping nose-to-nose to it!
    It still has a slight ( silicone type ) odor after the , so called , "48 hours" drying time??

    All opinions appreciated!!
    Thanks , Lynn

    I wait until the smell is gone. I have cut through some silicone to find although its been over the cure time, still was wet and sticky.
