Hi All,
I've read lots and lots of threads about silicone curing time and how long to wait. My silicone has a full curing time of 7 days.
But, all I did was add a few baffles to the tank. I'm not worried about the strength and whether it is 100% water tight. I couldn't find any info about whether silicone would release anything into the water if used before the full curing time.
I'm in a bind - my garage-located sump is leaking. Started slow and is now letting a good few litres per day out. It's soaked into my wooden stand and I'm really worried the whole lot will collapse. So, I sourced a new tank and thought I'd throw some baffles in first. Since then the leak has gotten worse. The baffles were put in on Monday and then I added a bit more silicone to them on Tuesday.
This is the silicone; https://www.selleys.com.au/products/sealants/selleys-glass-silicone/
Is it safe to switch my current sump with this one over the weekend?
Thanks in advance,
Christian
