So I'm building a pond and am at the stage where I'm about to paint the grout and then put a selaer on to make it water reisitant ad able to hold water without leaks etc.. I was thinking of using silicone,I have seen ppl use it on YouTube and obvisouly it is used in aquariums and fish tanks so I know it will seal it properly..I only want to put it where I know water will be held or on it 24/7.. Around the rest of the pond I was probz going to use pond tite just because l already bought it..but I have found it to be rather disappointing.. It says recommended use is 2-3 layers because it's supposed to be that strong and work but it's not very water resistant..I put like 6 layers and there are still places where it goes through,it also leave a shine which I also dnt like even tho it is transparent.. So anyway here are my two questions and concerns: Are there different types of silicone,I'm not sure which to use.. Is there a brand that better than others? Also I have heard it is toxic when wet and takes a long time to cure..should I take safety precautions when using it eg: gloves,mask? Next question is,has anyone found a better product that's not too expensive other than pondtite?.. I have had alot of trouble finding a transparent matte non toxic sealer that is waterproof..I didn't think it was this hard..so if anyone knows any other products would be willing to give them a gothanks
