Let's get our answer...

Well on silicone only a day or two old even a new batch doesn't adhere well. It didn't exactly drop off, was stuck on but wasn't a good reliable bond.

BUSTED!!!

Well done muse, that is that myth busted.

Surely this is nonsense. The silicone molecules in the middle of a line of silicone which is at neither end, and therefore not spending it's time sticking to, say, a shower tray or row of tiles, must be spending it's time sticking to other silicone molecules.

Anything sticky must stick to itself as the very minimum on a list of what it sticks to. It is part of what it means to be sticky. I'm aware I made my point moments ago but cannot seem to stop saying the words sticky or sticking.

silicon will not stick to cured silicon is what should have been said and the surface begins to cure very fast so even trying to go over whilst applying is difficult
