    What is a 'netural cure' caulk for glass sidelights

    I am installing insulated glass into a new entry door frame. the glass supplier said to use "neutral cure silicone" to glaze the windows. This would help to preserve the seal on the double pane glass.

    couldn't find any at the BORG......any one know of a brand name or type to look for?

    Here's one. It says neutral cure buried way down in the text. http://www.amazon.com/UltraGlaze-Sil.../dp/B000KZYJC0

    Nope......

    I just shook my head and walked out the door.. I see some from DuPont and GE, but could not find them at Lowe's.....

    So I was wondering if I missed it reading a label

    Dave-

    Neutral cure silicones will cure at very cold temperatures, even below 32 deg F.

    Neutral cure silicones are not "acid curing" like all other silicones, so they are used by tile and natural stone installers. A masonry dealer may be a good place to try besides the glazier.

    Dow Corning makes this as well as GE (Jamie's link). You're not going to find this in a home center. The amazon link is a good price - I've seen them for @ $26/tube if you can wait for it to ship.
