So I’ve been using the clear flowable sili up til now (which I’ve posted on before) and someone recommended blue etc sili… so I bought this stuff, is it the right kind? I hope so since it was ten bucks. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/3/1/13133fbaa6ce03d18ddf825e973aa5a8f33b1995.jpeg) ---

10 bucks? you can get some for a dollar at 99 cent store. granted that tube probably has more in it, but I don’t think it has 10x as much… ---

So I just did my dm2 with that stuff, man it was way harder to apply then the regular clear stuff! It doesn’t flow, lol, go figure. You have to mold it into the recess. I think i did ok tho, what do you guys think? ---

I think i did ok tho, what do you guys think? That’s why learning the skills of siliconing is important. And you did great for a first try, but on the left half of the DM2, the silicone looks like it has a hole there. That could lead to worse problems because a tiny hole could cause the whole silicone response system to rip out and break in a matter of minutes. ---

Yeah, thanks for the heads up. I’ll fix that. The stuff is way harder to put in, just practice I guess… ---

blue RTV is awesome, i agree it is more difficult to apply compared to clear sili.(which seems thicker) but the RTV seems to wear much slower ---
