What is the difference between Neutral cure and acetic cure silicone?

Acetic (Acetoxy) silicone sealants release acetic acid (which smells a little like vinegar) as they cure. The will cure faster but do not stick very well compared to Neutral cure types
Neutral (meaning neutral alcoxy) silicone sealants release alcohol as they cure, and has almost no smell, but take about 3 times longer to set up than acetic curing sealants. The do have overall a higher "grip" than Acetic types.

What is the difference between Silicone and Silicone adhesive?
A silicone is a "siloxane" polymer containing a -Si-O-Si-O- back bone and 2 organic groups attached to each silicon atom. There are a lot of different types. A silcon adhesive is essentially the monomer which reacts with moisture to form acetic acid and the silicone So along the lines of (R is an organic group, ac is acetate) SiR2Ac2 + H2O -> (SiR2O)n + acetic acid
Why does silicone smell like vinegar?
It releases acetic acid(vinegar) as part of the curing process.
What is the difference between glacial Acetic acid and acetic acid one five percent solution?
Glacial acetic acid is a concentrate 98%-100% acetic, solid at 16.5 degrees celcius. 1-5% solution commonly refers to vinegar.
Is alcohol acetic or alkaline?
Neither, it's a neutral liquid.
