[QUOTE="zukkev, post: 1521673, member: 17121"] The Right Stuff is the ONLY silicone I use, and have used for many many yrs. We use Ultra Gray at work (which isn't that much less money)= it's messier, more wasteful, and when I open a tube, the first thing that runs out is some of the lubricant/additives that's mixed into the gray stuff, telling me it's breaking down just sitting there. I prefer The Right Stuff in the caulking tubes. I too use the mini caulking gun, and yes it's a little more expensive, but I have left it hanging on the side of my box for 2 months without using, and all I do is pull out the 1/2" cured piece of silicone from the nozzle, and she's ready to go again. The same tube that's in my gun now, has been in the gun for 6 months, and I just used it the other day to seal the front and back of a 4.3L intake (No I don't use the junk that comes with the gaskets...). Not to mention, you do NOT have to let it 'skin' before assembling---I never do, as it's stickiest when first applied, AND you can put it into service right away...I have NEVER had the silicone fail and start 'wicking' or leaking in any application I use it on, including Auto trans pans, right Japerry??? :D In fact, he about destroyed the old pan I glued on last time I serviced his trans, he smashed it on a rock and needed to change the pan---no leaks from the silicone...:awesomework: [/QUOTE]
