I am so frustrated.  I have been using GE Silicone II for many years with only one issue about two years ago.  That was from using an out-of-date tube of silicone that didn't cure.  I use the silicone to adhere my glass panel to masonite or wood board.  Since the summer, I have had nothing but problems.  The silicone sometimes cures, sometime doesn't.  I check the date, buy it at different locations, but still no consistency.  I thought it might be the temperature of my studio so I have worked at keeping the pieces, after gluing, in a constant 65-70 degree environment.  Still no consistency.  
Does anyone use any other adhesive that is reliable for glass-to-wood applications?  
HELP!

I always buy a new tube of GE silicon II, open it and lay down a bead on a scrap. Let the bead cure for 6 hours. If it is not hard, I throw the silicon away.
