Where to buy silicone

[Brad_95]

Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to hunt down Momentive RTV103/108 and I haven’t had any luck finding it, and the only place that I’ve seen that has it is Amazon but the prices are insane. I was wondering where everyone else gets it? Grainger says that it has been discontinued.

I’ve also been looking for GE SCS1200 series too, but that seems easier to come across.

Amazon... pretty much the only place I have found it.

GE Siliccone 1... I advise you to stick to the I and not II because II includes anti mold agents.

The one without the mildew resistant additive https://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-Silicone-1-10-1-oz-Clear-Silicone-Caulk/3070881

Thanks, but I’d rather avoid GE I, doing a custom 180 build, and that stuff doesn’t hold seams too well at that size of a tank.

1 second fishface ...cheaper than aquarium brands

Which sucks too because the cheapest I’ve found is like $38 for a single 10oz tube of it

amazon appears to be out of stock at the moment.. Newark has it, but you want to talk about expensive.. 45 for a tube.

Yea, it’s been driving me nuts, someone else was talking about another silicone called ASI, and apparently it has the same shear strength (400psi I believe) as SCS1200 and RTV. But I haven’t heard many people using it so I haven’t thought of it as much.

Well I have used the asi from bulk reel on my 580 drop off tank. Now mind u this is a plywood build and corners have additional support.
Yet i have had no issues. Ive actually used it on quite a few builds over the years with no issues..Im sure theres a cut sheet online somewhere for it. Give u the nitty gritty on it.
Good luck

Holy crap, forget about the silicone for a second, got any pics of your tank?

Yeah I will post a few at some point soon. I need to put my build thread on at some point too. I will hit u up when they up. Ive been a member for over 10 years but Ive been hit or miss on the site for quite a while. Im gearing up to get my ratings up so I can start selling frags on here again. now that we can seem to do any shows here in my area.
