    Neutral cure Silicon

    The acetoxy silicones stink. How do the neutral cure ones compare? Are they harder to work with or do they give a poor finish? I'm planning to use the Mapei ones so that I can match the colour to the grout, but some of it will be white, so I could use other brands for those bits.
