Sounds like the silicone hardened in the tube. Did you have a cap on it? I always leave the plastic nozzle on and put a large screw through the opening. That way the silicone stays fresh in the nozzle.

No it typically does not dry that fast. Hence why it takes a good 12 - 24 hours to fully cure depending on the type of silicone.

So the silicone dried in 15 minutes? If that’s the case I have no valid explanation…

Like it burst through the packaging? No that’s not normal either. Was it in a unusually cold or warm storage locations? Near any sharp materials?
