Default Silicone caulking as a metal adhesive

Is this a relative of such adhesives as Sumo or Gorilla glue?
I have been disappointed with both. They are no match for epoxy (West
system, JB Weld).
They work fine for wood, provided you can sand afterwards as they swell up
and exude from the joint for quite a while.

But I would certainly be interested in details.

Silicon sealants exude acetic acid, causing rust and that's why a butyl
compound is used for auto glass installations.



yes, and the urethane is MUCH MUCH stronger - if there is interest, I can
explain, suffice it to say for now that I've used both on a large piece of
glass and if done right the Urethane is amazing
