But i've used the black and white electronic silicone (from digikey) and never had any problems with it.

You just had me going and look what brand that rubbish solder is, i have recenty used. It is almost as bad as the worst i ever had. Its brand is: CHIPQUIK lol! (RASW.020 2OZ).

What silicone did you use? How does it adhere to other meterials?

I wasn't using it as an adhesive, I was adding blobs between TH parts to other nearby parts to prevent any vibration.

It must vary a lot depending on the region. In Australia, neutral cure silicone is super common and imo the most stocked type in a hardware store.

I did not ask for using it as an adhesive, i was asking about the property of how good it will stick to other materials (called adhesion).

And Psi explained to you that he did not really evaluate the adhesion strength, since it was not relevant in his application. (Where the silicone blobs are jammed in between the through-hole parts.)
