Never heard of an old tube of silicone, and not curing? I have tubes that are years old and still work.

Still, clean as best you can. let sit for a few days/week. It can take a long time for the vinegar smell to subside.

This is a second time that this happened to me. First time it was GE II Silicone I tried to use in my bathroom.

Anyway, mentioning the smell, I smelled the bad silicone I have this morning in different room, and there is no vinegar smell to it at all. Also it is a bit harder to squeeze it out of the tube and is not as clear as All Glass I've originally used. I should have paid more attention to it when I first opened it , but I'm not silicone expert and thought this is just maybe another kind.
