I saw this at Maker Faire, and was worried about the toxicity. The people there just said – ‘yes it’s safe’. But the Material Safety Data Sheet: seems to say that there is very little data to show whether it is safe or not: (here is a summary)
The product is not classified for environmental effects.
However, the product contains substances whose environmental effects have not been well-investigated, and therefore it should be handled with caution.
The toxicology of the mixture has not been investigated.
Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity/Reproductive toxicity: No data available.
12. Ecological information
The ecotoxicology of the mixture has not been investigated.
Persistence/degradability No data available.
Bioaccumulation No data available.
Toxicity No data available.

Hello John,
Thanks for posting, and hope you had a great time at the Maker Faire, we thought it was amazing. Quite a long way to travel though! We’re heading back to London today
As regards health and safety and appropriate use, the material safety data sheet which is on the instructions page and the instructions page itself is the best place to get that info.
This for general DIY use, and it is not for use with food or by children.
It contains active ingredients that enable it to function – to cure into a tough silicone and to bond to other substrates, and as per the warning on the back of every pack and on the instructions page, there’s a chance that this could cause an allergic reaction to people with sensitive skin while it is uncured.
Once cured, it is inert, but it’s possible that very small amounts of an additive could leech out over time, which is why it’s not suitable for prolonged contact with food.
If you follow the safety guidelines on the back of the pack and the instructions page, as well as looking at the kind of applications it’s good for on the website, it’ll be clear what its appropriate use is.
I hope this helps.
Jane.
