I just got some caulk from the garage, a new tube of silicone. It was

the future ........ could I heat it up in the microwave?

I'd STRONGLY recommend AGAINST doing such a thing - think of what would
happen if it blew up. Have you ever microwaved a raw egg?

Please, don't do it. Let the goo sit until it reaches room temperature
before you use it.

Or, if you can afford a new microwave oven, go ahead and do the experiment
(this is called "science") and report back here with your results. It's
unlikely to burn the house down, but the oven would probably be unsuitable
for cooking food.

Good Luck!

Video. We must have video.

Sorry to bust everyone's bubble, but ..............


I didn't see any reason not to MW it, but Googled this:
