Can someone remind me who is carrying Translucent black silicone?
We are doing a panel job out of Supreme black with 1/4 bevel at joints and 1/4" joints.
Think trans black would look better than solid.

Todd, I don't know the answer to your question but an alternative is flexgrout by Mapei, I used it on white neolith panels, easy to apply, great adherence and flexibility. Clean well before it dries or you will need epoxygrout remover the next day.

Todd,
Thanks for stopping by our booth in Verona!
Maybe try calling CR Laurence. They mainly supply the glass industry, so they might have translucent black.

A small drop of black color into clear silicone and a cake piping bag? Did this once with buff color. To caulk in a Quartz tub deck and splash.

Great for small jobs, but I have hundreds maybe over a thousand feet.

We used to buy a lot of caulk from ColorRite in Oklahoma City. I know they used to have some translucents.

I would worry the trans black might show more than you would want on a 1/4" joint , ie.. shim , copper wire , plaster spot color .We have ordered from Fred R Hiller in the past for large quantities of silecone..

We stock a color called Trans Charcoal which is essentially a translucent black/dark gray. Very nice color. I have in in my house around my Verde Butterfly top. Blends with many dark colors. Let me know if you need any. See photo of color chart
