Wouldn't want to say with any certainty, however i've used lots of silcon for years to seal gaps etc, it does no obvious harm.

i have used silicon as well but it's not no gaps. maybe if i made it the coated it all in resin that would be fine. heaps of things are done in resin..

Read the label it shouls say if i can be used around drink water and what temps. its good for.

IMO im happy using products suitable for use with drinking water.

We tend to only use silicons that say suitable for aquariums. They tend to be non toxic ones.
But i cant say for sure wether no gaps is good or not

on some of the forums from over seas ive read alot about people using expansion type foam for making fake rock walls.

id say its best to read the labels carefully and check that it is "water safe" and what temps its can withstand.
