Is silicone safe to use for background?

[krystalnature]

I have a solid black melamine enclosure and I want to add a background to it. I purchased a tank cling I was thinking of attaching to the inside with silicone. Would this work and if so, what is a good silicone to use? Thanks for any tips!

Silicone should be OK. Depending on the material you might be able to use glue dots. I use those to hold my photo background in place and they work well attaching photo paper to glass.

lot of people recommend the ge 1 for windows and doors the one without the mold resistance it's non toxic once is cured i used it to caulk my enclosure once is cured it turns like a plastic very hardy it took 5 days for me to cure but it was inside it has a strong smell like vinegar when is not cured but is not too bad.

Like the above poster said, I would only use silicone 1 (not 2). Silicone 1 is pure silicon, while silicone 2 has other properties that (though unlikely) could cause harm to your dragon.
