Silicone Caulk Greasy?
I've got sort of a specail project going where I put the caulk on something
about the size of a half-dollar coin. Imagine putting a small bead on the coin's face, then spreading it around with your finger. What happens of course is the caulk fills in and covers the small depressions while the higher area's (like the president's face) you can see still see because your finger sort of "squegees" it off. Now if I let the caulk cure on the coin for 24hrs what should I find on the president's face? I would think nothing but there is actually a greasy residue which I did not expect. This is 100% silicone: http://www.caulkyourhome.com/sil2_kitchen_bath.html I rub a blue colored old T-shirt on the raised area's of the coin and it comes away darker like it was wet or greasy (even after 24hr cure). If I put a small bead of caulk on a piece of paper (without smearing it) and let it cure, it looks and feels rubbery like normal caulk with no greasy residue, even if I pull it away from the paper. Any thoughts on how this is occuring? |
