Black Silicone vs. Clear Silicone?

[tbone28]

What's the difference? Looks only? Or structural too?

Nothing structural, but I prefer the black. After some years, the clear tends to change color (absorb dyes, chemicals, etc), and usually gets covered with algae/coralline, etc. Bottom line, it ends up looking like crap and there isnt a whole lot you can do about it.

The black covers all of that. To me, it just looks alot slicker as well.

Yeah im a big fan of black/clear looks cheap.

I like my silicone like I like my coffee.

 

[hahnmeister]

You like it wattery and full of cream?

 

[bcordill]

I agree, black silicon has a much cleaner look.
