What brand of silicone do you guys use? Personally I use GE 100% Silicone Sealant, and it works wonders for mod projects.

Red RTV 🙂

It works well, but its annoying to apply, because its not exactly “flowable.” So its a lot harder for it to come out perfectly smooth, IMO.

I like the copper high temp rtv. I also like the red. It lasts longer than flowable.
