As the title says. I am wanting to drill a little hole in brute van and put airline tubing through it and silicone around the tube.

The silicone doesn't say anything about mold inhibitors.

I used GE silicone 1. It is 100% silicone, nothing else added. Mine came in a white tube I believe.... Couldnt say about that one you got there?
 
Under where mine says "clear" it doesn't say anything else.
 
IMO its not worth taking a risk. A tube of the stuff that is proven safe is only a couple bucks at HD or Lowes...
 
I am just going to use the superglue that I use on frags. Its such a small amount that I need, enough to just go around airline tubing.
