The best I've found so far.

So I used this to seal my offset smoke leaks, it was pretty good and didn't shrink much but again I used a lot in case of shrinkage. It has a much higher heat resistance than the red silicone sealants used by everyone and the areas sealed with it paint over well. I sealed the joint between the chimney and the smokebox, sealed the nuts and bolts and also sealed the connection between the firebox and the smokebox, the only spot where it failed or the last spot was in the firebox lid where all the

Really good for making boots for a 3D printer Heating element

I used this to make "silicone boots" for my Monoprice Maker Ultimate 3D printer and it seems to work pretty darn well for that , as opposed to from mixing my own weird silicone grout. Using a 1bigpig thing that was printed with black polylactide, I coated the inside of this thing with Costco dish soap and then squeezed just enough to fill maybe 2/5 to 1/2 of a container and then squeezed. A day later I received a usable silicone case for my printer. I definitely had enough to do, at least 6…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power

Do it right and it will work

I use Ultra Copper as a gasket, NOT in combination with a paper or rubber gasket. I do NOT use a pad in addition to Ultra Copper. DO NOT USE AS INSTRUCTED! I make sure ALL SURFACES are clean and free of grease. Then, using my finger, I apply a layer directly to the surface of the part to be attached (not the receiving surface). Let dry and apply another layer. After it is completely dry, I reattach the part to the receiving surface. As for me, I didn't have any drips, leaks or leaks afterwards.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Perfect fit for silicone 3D printer boots

This was my first time doing anything with silicone myself. I was a little scared but figured that a single component silicone hose couldn't be too harsh. I printed a mold for my Geeetech A20M OG hotend from Thingiverse and squeezed some of this paste onto it. After about a day (with some heating in between) the mold was ready. I've had the best results "painting" a small amount of dish soap around the shape with a brush. The cured product is flexible and has withstood many hours at 200-240°C…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Something different
