hi, whats the difference between rtv and silicon? dont sellys make a rtv silicon for boats? or was it gaskets, . i think permatex make a sensor safe silicon sealant.
mark k p.s, if a seal has worn a groove on a surface some times you can get a shim, which u put in first then bash the seal in so that it doesnt run in the same groove, but runs on a smooth surface close to it, or dont bash the seal in as far... there are acid cure and neutral cure rtv silkicons ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Rudd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 11:21 PM Subject: RE: Seals and gasket goo > Mark, > > You're correct.
