Provided you let both types fully cure neither are harmful..
Most of the rumors of danger from ge 1 are because people had problems when they didnt allow it to fully cure before use...

You are correct. I didn’t know that but upon further research I found that, for the reason you stated above, they don’t spefically sell it as a mold and mildew preventive, but the formulation of Silicone 1 is naturally mold and mildew resistant without any additives. This is why the tube soesn’t State anything about it but in the specifications Under features it states mold and mildew resistant. This must be where the confusion came from.
Anyway, thanks for that, and at least I can rule that out as a problem.
