which silicone for attaching glass baffles?

S14_Silvia · 03-05-2005, 04:16 PM

What kind of silicone should I use to attach my glass baffles for my 29 gallon sump. Hopefully something that is readily available at home depot. I've heard some people say to use the AGA silicone, but I would rather go up the road 2 miles than travel to the nearest pet store which is around 25 miles away. So what kind do I need to get?

I know that "DAP" Brand makes an "aquarium" silicone. I got some at menards but I bet they would have it at home depot...

If I can't find the DAP stuff what else can I use. All I know is that it needs to be 100% silicone?

I used the GE 100% silicone on my sump and let it cure for two days then rinsed it with water and had no ill effects from it. Got it at home depot.

just make sure there is no anti-mold agents in it and it should be fine

Are there any other brands in case my home depot doesn't carry it. Also is it located by all the other caulks and silicones or is it somewhere else in the store, like by the windows and doors? I hate how HD is organized.....I don't get it.

It is next to all the other caulk in home depot. Like jerry said make sure it is NOT mildew resistant and 100% silicone.
