They might mean a natural cure one - i.e. that does not produce acetic acid on curing. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I don't know if they're silicone specifically, but many adhesives and sealants seem to be available in both normal and solvent-free variants. I used one to stick a load of polystyrene to my shed roof as insulation - made sure I got the solvent-free version as I suspect the normal kind would have melted the polystyrene. As for how you tell, the solvent-free ones have a special giveaway code written on the tube - it says "solvent free". Pete |
