Gorilla Sealant Silicone Clear is a professional-grade, 100% silicone sealant engineered to provide a durable, waterproof barrier for a wide variety of sealing and filling applications. Over time, standard caulks and sealants can shrink, crack, or degrade when exposed to moisture and temperature fluctuations, leading to costly water damage. This 295ml cartridge delivers a high-performance formula that cures to a crystal-clear finish, ensuring a clean and virtually invisible seal that maintains its flexibility forever. It is an exceptional choice for sealing joints in kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing fixtures, windows, and doors, providing a reliable and long-lasting shield against leaks, moisture entry, and mold growth.

Key Features and Specifications

This sealant is made from 100% premium silicone, ensuring that it will not shrink, crack, or yellow over time, even under harsh conditions. The clear formula is completely waterproof and becomes rain-ready in an incredibly short period, usually within 30 minutes of application. The standard 295ml cartridge is designed to fit comfortably into any conventional caulking gun, providing smooth and consistent extrusion. It features excellent resistance to mold and mildew growth, making it perfect for high-humidity environments. The cured silicone exhibits supreme flexibility, allowing it to expand and contract with natural building movements without losing its bond to materials like ceramic, glass, porcelain, metal, wood, and most plastics.

How to Use

To achieve the best possible bond, ensure that all surfaces are completely clean, dry, and free from old sealant, grease, dust, or soap residue; wiping the area with rubbing alcohol can help prepare the surface. Cut the nozzle tip of the cartridge at a 45-degree angle to your desired bead size and pierce the inner foil seal. Insert the cartridge into a standard caulking gun and apply the sealant evenly along the joint, pushing the bead ahead of the nozzle. Smooth the sealant immediately after application using a sealant tool, a gloved finger, or the back of a spoon before it begins to form a skin. Allow the silicone to cure undisturbed for at least 24 hours to reach its maximum strength and performance before exposing it to heavy use.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The primary advantage of Gorilla Silicone Sealant is its 100% silicone composition, which guarantees complete water protection and lifelong flexibility without the risk of drying out or cracking like acrylic caulks. Its rapid 30-minute water-ready time provides a major benefit, allowing you to use your shower or sink much sooner than standard sealants permit. A potential disadvantage is that because it is a pure silicone product, it cannot be painted over; therefore, if you require a colored finish, you must match it with the surrounding area or select a pre-colored sealant. Additionally, applying silicone requires a steady hand, as any excess product must be cleaned up immediately with a dry cloth or mineral spirits before it sets.

Delivery and Shipping

We use reliable courier services to ensure your hardware and sealing products are delivered safely and efficiently to your door. Standard delivery typically takes between 2 to 4 working days.

Safety, Compliance and Disclaimers

Store the cartridge in a cool, dry place with the cap securely replaced on the nozzle tip to prevent the remaining silicone from curing inside the tube. Keep out of reach of children and pets. This product releases acetic acid or other vapors during the curing process; always ensure excellent ventilation by opening windows or using exhaust fans during application. Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin; in case of eye contact, flush thoroughly with clean water for several minutes and seek medical attention. Standard disclaimer: Silicone sealant bonding strength is dependent on proper surface preparation and material compatibility; always test on an inconspicuous area when sealing unfamiliar or highly flexible plastic surfaces.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I paint over this clear silicone sealant? No, 100% silicone sealants repel paint, and attempting to paint over them will result in the paint pooling or peeling away. If you need a seal that matches a specific wall color, you should apply the sealant after painting or use a paintable caulk.

Is this product safe for use in an aquarium?

 While this is a high-quality 100% silicone, some formulas contain anti-mold and anti-mildew chemicals that can be harmful to fish and aquatic life over time. For building or repairing fish tanks, it is always recommended to use a specialized, aquarium-safe certified silicone.

How can I remove old or messy silicone if I make a mistake?

 If the silicone is still wet, you can wipe it away using a dry cloth or a cloth dampened with mineral spirits. If the silicone has already cured, it must be carefully cut or scraped away using a sharp utility knife or a specialized silicone removal tool.
