I built a shelf to place some lists and profiles in. I used an old paper tube about 10cm in diameter that I had lying around. I sawed up some 50cm long pieces and milled grooves in a board to stand them in (think of a very large pan flute).
To attach them to the board, I had the bright idea to fill the grooves I milled with silicone and press the tubes in. It would probably have been a pretty good idea if I had actually used silicone. I noticed today that I instead managed to use a tube of outdoor seal that I didn't even know I had.

I noticed it because the seal was still sticky like when it came out of the tube when I checked today, about 12 hours later.
The only thing I find in the product description is that it should become surface-dry after 48 hours. But will it ever cure through, or is it just as well to try to remove the stickiness and redo it? I don't mind waiting a couple of weeks for it to cure, but if it's pointless, I'd rather address it right away.

As far as I know, it will never cure.
Thank you, I realized that after a couple of days, tried to remove the mess, spilled mineral spirits all over the project, threw everything in the trash, and have now decided to come up with another solutionS stockholmsamatören said:
