Is GE type II silicone safe?

[dorymarlin955]

I just finshed constructing a new terrarium for my pair of cresties, and I used a little bit of the black GE type II silicone. I could not find anywhere on the tube where it says anything about mildew/mold resistant additives, however I was just informed that it does infact contain mildewcide called "bioseal" or something like that. To give an idea of how much I used, I covered the exposed foam areas (I used Great Stuff foam) in between the pieces of cork bark with the silicone, and then spread eco-earth onto the silicone while it was dry (see pic)

I'm going to be mounting bromeliads onto the cork probably this weekend. How long do I need to wait so it can release any toxins before introducing the geckos? Is this something I really need to worry about?:main_huh:

It is safe once cured. There has been a debate in the PDF community about it's safety, and the overall consensus seems to be that it is fine, and the "Bioseal" is just a marketing gimmick by GE.
