I am getting silicone but the only silicone there is in the retail store is:  
Permatex Black RTV Silicone  
Permatex Red Hi-Temp RTV Silicone  
Permatex Windowshield Sealant Silicone  
Permatex Blue RTV Silicone

Which one would be the best and wich ones can be used best on a yoyo?

I think they all the same, never try blue though, but i dont like black.  
i like the red one, only because of the colour.
