WARNING: GE Silicone I and II probably no longer safe due to added mildew inhibitor

[BonnieLorraine]

Just a warning for anyone wanting to use the CRL, the smell is rather intense and it's best done outdoors. I used it indoors, like I did with the GE, and I swear my lungs were on fire and I was coughing for the next 20 minutes.

i use any kind that is simply 100% silicone. If you aren't sure what product sa re 100% silicone, contact the company that makes it.

I don't know how they get away with it, but even stuff that claims to be 100% silicone can contain mildew inhibitor.

For proof, here's a pic I copied off of Canreef...

Yeah I did indoors in a small apartment and drove my wife insane. I find that the black silicon to be more potent than the clear though.
