There are some silicone's that don't give off an acidic gas as they cure. I needed some years ago and it was a 'all weather' type that I found OK. To test I would put some of the silicone along with a piece of copper wire into a zip lock bag and leave for a few days. If it gave off an acidic gas the copper would turn green. You could almost tell by the smell they give off as they cure.
