Are aquarium safe silicones actually safe?

[LuizW13]

The neutral cure blends are just naturally more "mold resistant" hence its marketed as being better at inhibiting mold.. But no additional chemical are typically added to achieve that...

The "myths" started around here because the neutral cure takes longer to cure vs the acetoxy kind and people were just using it too quick and having problems.. Its the lack of a full cure that was causing the issues though and in no way related to any of its "mold resistant" properties..

Jeez, how do you know all this? :reading:

This topic comes up periodically on here. Smart folks here including the two above and uncleof6, etc have tried to set us straight, but the debate continues. If you look into the msds for the products, even the ones claiming to be mold inhibiting don't actually have any mold inhibitors listed in the safety sheets.
