Posted	Silicon
21-09-2007 20:46 by spurson	I`m thinking of putting together some slate and rocks can the silicon i use as a glue be the clear type that window fitters use??.
21-09-2007 21:01 by Fry Lover	might be me, it being a Fri night, but i have no idea what your asking mate? Whats all this about window fitters mate?
21-09-2007 21:03 by Fry Lover	okay i worked it out why not just use the normal Aquarium Silicone to be on safe side?
21-09-2007 21:07 by spurson	yeah true i was just wondering, thanks.
21-09-2007 21:32 by telboy	NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dont use anything but aquarium sealant,or youll kill all ya fish + poison ya tank

21-09-2007 22:19 by spurson	Nice one tel,thanks,did you read the Test kit i bought?its ok isnt it? it was dear enough!!.
21-09-2007 22:52 by telboy	never heard of the make, but should be ok does most tests
22-09-2007 05:19 by Woz	you 100% you cant use it tel, u dont sound very confident about it
22-09-2007 08:51 by JOHANSWAN	only problem ive found with using silicone to glue slate is that it came loose after a while as silicone dont seems to stick well on slate so be carefull if you want to build something that can fall apart
22-09-2007 11:26 by telboy	or you could try milliput? it works in salt water + sets under water, im not sure if it works in fresh!can be found in LFS also in art shops apparently
22-09-2007 19:48 by Woz	its *** stuff tel,it keeps breaking off in my tanks
22-09-2007 19:49 by Woz	its not very good
23-09-2007 10:48 by big cats	the anti mould additive in silicon may harm fish, even silicon that has no additive stated on the tube can have traces (i have used it in the past without any problems)because it is processed through the same machines as the stuff with additives the only sure way is to use aquarium silicon, however it is not that good at holding slate together
23-09-2007 23:57 by robert.pope	i have used milliput and not had a problem i ised it to bond the spraybar clips into my Juwel background it stets faster under water and is 100% safe
