GE Silicone is a brand name, so I have no idea if it's available in Australia. It is a clear silicone caulking for glass and windows, etc. I would think that there should be a similar product available there.

Welcome, by the way and have a great time making your totem! But, remember, they are terribly addicting! And don't forget to let us see....so we can all ooooh and aaaaah over your creation!

Thanks Marlene! (-: It will look the same as the one in the photo with blue tac (see link) I'm very happy with it so won't change it at all.
I found some silicone, "Selleys glass sillicon sealant for windows and aquariums" it "locks out water, excellent adhesion to glass, UV resistant, Aquarium safe, 100% silicone, acetate cure"
Does this sound similar to the GE that you all use?

Yes, just make sure it dries clear! And, I totally missed your link this morning....LOVE your totem!

that totem is gorgeous! Looks very victorian.
I think you probably have found the right thing. "for Windows and doors, clear" is the other part of the name of the silicone we mostly use. I would think windows and aquariums would be the same.
Good luck

Thanks Marlene and Kathy. I'l post a pic when I get a chance to put it together and it dries.
Cheers

Where do you find this silicone? Lowe's?

Dreamspirit, you can find GEII Silicone for Windows & Doors at any home improvement store or hardware store. You can even find it at big discount stores like Walmart.

I used the GEII silicone for my first clear glass totem but I guess I put it on too thick because you can see it. Do you use it sparingly?

Also look for GEII that is now "New and Improved" on the label .Claims to be sun and freeze proof...Since I just started making these glass items I guess i won't know for a year or so if their claim holds-up...

I've made over 50 of the totems and bird biths and I've only had one come apart because I didn't use enough silicone. I've had 2 out for more than a year and they are still intact. I've found not matter how much silicone you use it will go where it wants. Unless it is really thick around the outside I just leave it. Gives it more strength. I've never had a customer complain about it showing. If you don't like it you can use a razor blade and cut off the access. I always use clear too.
mrsdutchy your totem is very pretty.
