Subject:Silicone, silcone/latex caulking question (Has VC. Honest!)

Hi all.

In working on fresh air/heater box, I have used "Mono Ultra Bath& Kitchen"
caulking to seal parts I made. One ex. of what I mean:

http://web.mac.com/tubaneil/iWeb/Site%205/HeaterCoreSide.html

It's not 100% silicone, but may be a silicone/latex blend. Packaging doesn't
specify. I've tried searching web but can't find info I need.

My concern:

even when cured, will heat (from hot air in box) release unwanted fumes from
silicone or silicone mix caulking?

I know that when uncured/curing, 100% silicone caulking does make fumes.

Crazy question, but then I'm doing some crazy mods!

Thanks for any input from home reno/contractor experts!
