    I wouldn't. You want 100% pure silicone, no additives to "resist mold and mildew." You can buy tubes of "aquarium safe" silicone at lowe's, etc... near the glue at my local store.

    I'm told that there are two types of GE II, the one for kitchen and bath has mold inhibitors while the door/window one does not. The door/window one is safe, if that is the case.
