RE: Permatex Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive

It should be a better choice, stickier. The original was GE RTV108 which is actually still in production. I've used it in electronics applications since the late '60s. It's a good vibration damper also but make sure it's fully cured before powering up as the acetic acid catalyst is somewhat conductive until it dries. It's also available in a liquid, or used to be at any rate and you mixed in the catalyst before pouring it. A lot of rocket radios were held together with that stuff so it should be adequate for stereos...

I think the gasket version is designed to flow well but not stick too tight since the object may need to be opened in the future for maintenance.

Regards, Rick
