Silicone Question?

Ok so I am going to silicone my Legacy and Kickside and I was wondering what is the difference between Flowable Silicone, RTV, and Gasket Maker. Is one better than the other? Thanks in advance.

Get flowable since ur siliconing for your first time

But what is the difference?

basically the play and how long they last

Flowable silicone and Gasket Maker are both types of RTV

Flowable silicone is flowable, more liquidy/thinner, it levels out if left to harden on a flat surface.
Gasket maker is not self-leveling, so to get a uniform flat surface response area, you need to use a tool such as a card or plastic spoon to shape it in the groove.

With Gasket maker, the more you work/play with it and the longer you leave it sit, the harder it is to work with/create a uniform flat surface (instead of textured/crap).
