Silicone as in industrial grade RTV silicone or as in household grade silicone sealant (which is mostly acrylic, with a small amount of silicone)?
The household acrylic/silicone sealant is intended for bathtubs, where nothing moves.
The industrial RTV silicone is pure silicone and can take a serious beating without failure.
But you won’t find it in hardware stores!
