RTV Silicone sealer

[ACoyle]

Is there anything that it does "not" stick to?



I need an irregular shaped gasket and thought that 2 layers of something that it dosen't stick to separated by washers would make a pliable material to cut a gasket from that woul not leak.



Thank You

Good question. I know if the surface to be sealed isn't completely clean on oil, it won't stick. Outside of that, I have no clue.

I want a couplw 24" Grovers on top of the cab, just terrible bad. I don' know if the inspection dudes will stop me yet. I don"t want the leak to go with it. Was just thiinking that RTV gaskets would do the job nicely.

Try some plastic wrap like Saran Wrap, or possibly old school wax paper.

If you put a light coat of Vaseline on the mounting surface and on the item to be mounted, then place your RTV and make up the assembly, then you will have made a "formed-in-place" gasket.
