If silicone sticks to just about everything, why will just about nothing stick to silicone?

Often wondered this myself, then I came to realise that they must just make certain things to pee us off ,

‘S one of life’s great mysteries - like the ways of a man with a maid or how does a horse do that while he’s walking…

It’s just the under side that is the sticky side. Use it upside down and you’ll see what I mean…

I thought it only sticks whilst its curing. Once the silicone is cured it doesn't stick (does it ) and be careful of the new 'water based' rubbish. Used the DOW (or whatever the name is of the trade stuff) but bought the environmentally friendly stuff. Was nothing like it's dirtier brother.

Low surface energy once cured. I fink.
