now thats the exact opposite of what i read on some website(s). I read
silicone lasts forever and anything else is waranteed to say only 50 yrs.
These tubes have a lifetime warantee, the synthetic, like 50, 35, etc.
Its
also by far the most expensive. Twice that of the next.

I just used some elsewhere outdoors where it is reaching 0 celsius

But
I had some I wiped on a piece of paper in the garage, where it

into single digits celsius, and its still gooey after several days.
So
I
still have a couple of jobs to do, and I bought and was planning on
using
Silicone GE II for.

(i) On the roof, between the (std. asphalt residential) shingles and
the
aluminum siding to fill a 3/4" gap that has creaped away from the
last
caulking there.

(ii) Between the new walls and ceiling I just installed in the
basement
shower. It hasn't been used in years and probably won't for years to
come.
So there will be time to dry, but still. Its just a small square
unit,
and
the wall and ceiling panels are above the unit. Some splash will
make
its
way to the joints between the panels and the unit (maybe 6' high) and
the
rest of the joints are above that and is just going to be humid.

Just wondering if its too soft? ie need another type for these jobs?
eg
exchange for Latex?

Silicone caulk degrades in the tube, in its time of dated life. It
goes bad, is another way of saying it. Cure time goes up as temps go
down, and then do not exist, but for a real Pro call the Calk Co
manufacturer...
