10oz tubes of silicone locally?

**bad coffee** · 02-05-2007, 04:28 PM

I've been looking for some Dap 100% silicone, and can't find any new stock. It's all out of date and solid in the tubes. has anyone seen any at their local hardware store? All I can find is the small tubes.

I need 2-3 tubes for my new tank. I can order it online, but would rather not in this weather.

Thanks

Just use the GE Silicone for window and door. Make sure that its not the type with the anti-mildew agent in it. Its also 100% silicone. I've used it in my sump without any problems. Its alot cheaper then the stuff packaged for aquarium use, but made of the same thing. 100% is 100%, just different packaging.

all the stuff I've found is the new formula. even the window/door has mold inhibitors. I tried a couple of tubes of old stock and none were any good.

I called petland by me and they have 3 tubes. I'll pick it up tomorrow.
