So my friend was asking me if this type of silicone would work.

No that stuff will not work. It will flake and ruin bearings. Also it will only last about an hour and then it’s gone. Use silicone only.

just tell him to go to a 99 cent store and buy some silicone.  
he wants silicone for repairing a windshield/glass.  
at a 99 cent store near me they had clear, black, red, and some other colours. I just got clear, and it worked fine for my 888.
