>What does anyone know about GE's Silicone II product on
aluminum? It is a methoxy polymer that gives off ammonia and methanol as it
cures, as opposed to the standard silicone, which is an acetoxy polymer which
gives off acetic acid. I read it was better for copper and brass, but there was
no mention of aluminum. Bob Harper

I'll answer my own question. After digging deeper in my notes,
I found ammonia on that list of no-no's for raw aluminum. So GE's Silicone II is
no better. I finally got through to their tech people and they do recommend it
for anodized aluminum, but not raw.
