Does RTV sealant deteriorate fast(er) in high humidity?

Thanks.

These adhesive-sealants are not resistant to many types of fluid such as fuel, and hydraulic fluid. It has also been shown that this type material can cause fracture of stressed high strength steel when applied under high relative humidity conditions. These factors should be thoroughly investigated prior to the use of these materials

Hope it is what your looking for.

I don't think RTV will deteriorate at all due to humidity. It is silcone based, and it is used a lot to create gaskets for car engines. As long as it doesn't contact fuel/gasoline then you should be fine, if it does then you must not be grwoing the same things the rest of us are.

Like saint said, humidity wont effect it. We use it all the time at work to keep things air/water tight.

RTV is a bad choice, try finding something like polyurethane construction sealant
it takes about 3 days to dry fully and it doesnt harden, shrink or crack, CR
Lawrence carries it but many glass shops will sell you a few tubes

What makes RTV a bad choice? It is flexible when dry, takes only 24hours to fully cure, and is compatible with any materials that you would be using to grow mushrooms.
