CRC RTV Silicone, is it safe?

Has anyone used this silicone for their saltwater tanks? It comes in a nice pressurized container that would be very easy to use. Just wanted to ask if anyone knew if it was safe or not.

Never used it, but there's something about it that just seems like it wouldn't be good. What is it pressurized with? Will that react with the silicon to cause non-reef-safe chemicals? Things like that come to mind.

I would just stick with GE Silicon I: Window & Door (Clear)

I have never used that but make sure it does not mention anything about mildew on it. If it does it is not good to use.

It doesn't stay anything about a mildew protector on it.

I used it on a goldfish tank.
