    Default Silicone smell?

    How can i get rid of this silicone smell? Its been at least a week now with a fan blowing directly into it in my garage. Could it be the silicone i used? I bought mine from menards. Is that a problem?

    GE Silicone I has a smell that will take a few weeks to go away. GE Silicone II is what many use (has to be the door and window version) and will go away in a few days usually.

    Just like Don said about GE Silicone II. Use that and you should be good in a day or so.
