Question 11

I’m choosing between clear and colored silicones at home—are there any particular considerations?

Clear silicone is ideal when you want an almost invisible seal, especially on glass or transparent surfaces. Colored variants can better blend with adjacent materials. For most interior applications where aesthetics matter, go with the color that matches the surrounding surfaces.

Question 12

If I need to remove or replace the seal later, how easy is it to do with ASMACO GP Silicone Clear?

Accepted Answer

Silicone sealants can be trimmed or cut away with a utility knife. If removal is needed, use a silicone sealant remover or solvent designed for silicones, and clean the area before re-sealing with fresh silicone.
