Can't remember any silicon going 48 hours and still being tacky to the
touch. Maybe the temperature is too low (60-65F) ? Only thing I can think
of though.

Have to admit I didn't read the label (print too small for my bad eyes)
any ideas?

It sounds as though it is too old. Was this laying around for awhile before
you used it?

Bought it new at the hardware store. Tried two different tubes. Furnace in
this house not working (next project) so I put a space heater in the
bathroom. Haven't been there yet today so I'll see if there was
improvement in curing overnight.

Check the use by date printed on the tube. Old RTV Silicone tends to not
cure well.

I just did a shower with Silicone II a few weeks ago and it cured in a
few hours.
