Using clear silicone as a glue?

Had a brainstorm a minute ago about using clear silicone (used for sealing bathroom stalls, etc.) to 'glue' clear pieces onto a kit, such as headlights, windows, etc.

Has anybody used it before, and can tell me how this works if at all? I don't know what kind of chemical compounds it has, and wether it'll screw up clear plastics.

And yeah - I know about Micro Krystal Klear already, but I'm not terribly impressed with it, so that's why I'm looking for a new idea.

mmmmmmmmmmmm sounds messy, I hate using that stuff even for its intended use. I am not sure but I would test it on a painted surface first to make sure there is no reaction.

Yeah, good idea - like on an old model where it doesn't matter, right :D?

About it being messy, I wouldn't be using it straight out of the tube, application with a toothpic would be the norm.

my experience with the stuff is not good (thats only doing a bathroom though). either way, you will probably have a little bit of excess oozing out of somewhere. wiping it off will only smear it...then its down to white spirit (or maybe wd-40) to try and get rid of the residue. it just seems too much hassle. i stick to elmers white glue personally.

why dont you have a go and let us know how you found it. i would certainly be very interested if it works :)

Yeah let us know how it goes

Probably work quite well provided it doesnt attack paint or plastic.Reckon youd never get the window out again once its in there though.
