Just the same, I know quite a few folks who thought all "Silicone" was the same,
and they bought their's at Home Depot to save a few bucks. OOPS! The home
version releases ACID as it cures. Pretty hard on boat hardware.

Acetic acid, that is, vinegar. Not in a class with some other acids
for corrosiveness, but not desirable. Won't normally do much to
stainless.
