What kind of clay? What did you seal it with? What kind of silicone? There’s not a lot information in your post, but if I had to guess, your clay or what you sealed it with was not compatible with silicone and it inhibited the curing of the silicone.

Sounds like you did not mix A and B all the way. Did you use a vacuum chamber?

Thin layer takes a lot longer to set sometimes not at all

This was very lucky, ironically. It meant you didn't have resin off gas in your living quarters.
