unused for too long?


I'll try and read up on it. Normally the problem with old
silicone is that it self catalyses and goes solid.


Thanks John - I'd also assumed that if it was still runny, it was still OK.
Now scraping out the uncured sealant with matchsticks & rag - it's fun all
the way..... )
