I'm not necessarily siliconing a divider--I guess I should've been more specific. I pretty much have an island made of expanding foam. I siliconed the whole island. Because the foam has natural little holes in it, when I did my water test, the water leaked into the island and filled the pot-like holes with water. The second time around, I let everything dry out, then went back with a flashlight so I could then see the holes that weren't properly covered with silicone. I then layered it on again pretty thick. I'm hoping that it will hold, but I'm so nervous to do my second water test!!!

I've left the enclosure outside for a few days to ensure that it's getting proper air flow. The odor has gone down quite a bit, but still remains.

Ok, now I think I may be seeing why it still smells. The silicone that got into the nook and crannies of the foam probably wasn't fully cured when you added more silicone onto it. Without the proper airflow to it, there's no real way to know how long it will take to cure completely.
