couldn't help myself but make a quick response to this one. I must confess I am a total junkie of liquid silicon related products. That stuff can be used for so many applications!!! Up here in the land of rust I keep many total rustbuckets patched up with that stuff. While the structural integrity of a vehicle filled with liquid silicone is debateable, it is far more likely to bounce when in an accident! Seriously though if you own a shitbox daily driver that you don't want to spend $$ on, buy a caulking gun and a big tube of liquid silicone, and go crazy! BTW the large tube of caulking you use w/ a caulking gun are cheaper (proportionately) than the same stuff in squeeze tubes (brands like "Goop" especially!) michael >On Sat, 3 Dec 94 21:45:47 CST Jonny Miner said: >>About a month ago, someone posted about a product by 3m which was some >>kind of sealant goop you could put around/in/under your window "seals" to >>keep the rain out.
