Safe for aquariums? Dap clear

[Angeltold]

Does this have any pesticides in it that can hurt my fish? I have my old 10 gallon aquarium and already cut out the seal. Just needs to be resealed.
Thanks in advanced!!

The company there is saying it is completely safe AS LONG AS it is already FULLY cured and not partially cured where it could still leach toxins.
So, as long as you are using it on a dry, empty tank, it seems safe to me

It says latex plus silicone. It is not 100% silicone. I would not use it for a job where silicone is needed.

Don’t ever cheap out and try to substitute with something this crucial. Yes , this stuff is expensive but buy the stuff the manufacturers use and sell.

Normally 100% silicon rubber is used to seal tanks. Not caulk. That said silicon rubber is frequentlynext to calk.

 

[Fishmanic]

DO NOT use that caulk
Use only 100% pure silicone (without mold , mildew inhibitors) … GE silicone 1 is recommended

Use pure 100% silicone. Nothing else..No special additives.

By the time you reseal a tank, you have done a lot of work. It isn't easy to do. If you add a product that's toxic, it stays that way. The tank is ruined by it. If you add one that doesn't grip the glass, the work undoes itself fairly quickly.

What about this one?

I hate that it says "mold free' implies a fungicide however internet sleuthing suggests a number of sites say it is safe eg:https://reefersdirect.com/best-aquarium-silicones/
