Permatex 80050 Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant, 3 oz

Works as well as any other silicone adhesive, curing time is good and application is quick and mess free with application tip. There is a little bit of a smell so just cure it in a area of your home you don't visit often.

Glue works well. I used this on several little projects and it holds good

This stuff works very well and has great adhesion.

I bought this because my supposedly stretch-self-fusing silicone tape wasn't fusing and I needed to glue the tape on/down. My online research suggested that the only thing that will glue silicone is silicone. The tape I was having trouble with was being used on a dishwasher rack repair to cover repairs done with uber goop. Taping over the uber goop repairs isn't necessary but provides some benefits. I first did this a few years ago and it worked real well but now I had some new spots to fix and a few of the old needed reinforcement. I had only a little bit of trouble with the tape the first go around but now half or more of the tape wraps weren't sticking even when redone with a little longer tape. I don't see how but the tape became less good over time. This silicone glue was very hard to use when rewrapping the loosened tape with glue on it for sticking. Covering the job with electrical or masking tape while it was drying didn't seem like it was gripping over the slippery surface (it wasn't). I expected it to fail just about everywhere I did this but to my surprise, it worked every time and the electrical and masking tape later slid right off. I've done at least 10 wash loads since then and all the tape is looking good and no glue is even visible. So this glue is indeed very good for gluing silicone (despite the extreme difficulty of the slipperyness). I notice others have criticized the shoddy caps on these tubes and caps are a pet peeve of mine too. When I have extra epoxy because I mixed too much, I often put some in the hollow tops and sides of shoddy caps which makes them less likely to crack. I also started keeping a small container of vaseline with my glues to use on the threads when closing some tubes to make a good seal - shoe goo definitely needs it. I'm going to add some to my silicone glue tube now and maybe even lower my review for this common manufacturer lack of integrity issue. Update: Prompted by me writing this review and reading a couple others, I took a look at the tube that I got and used a few weeks ago. The cap is indeed of the cheapest quality you will find. I see that I had filled in the top with silicone glue which may make it just a tiny bit stronger, but the sides are wafer thin (the chief problem) and there are only a couple turns of threads. I unscrewed it and could see the silicone would have quickly dried up had I left it like it was. I tried to clean the threads and applied vaseline around the threads and tightened it as much as I dared. Sometimes I reinforce caps with steel (or other) epoxy around the sides which usually makes a difference and I save good old caps. I realize Permatex doesn't make their own caps but Permatex is the one to blame. I knocked a star off my review but even two would have been fair.

Works great and it’s multiuse too

Great product. The seller sent me the wrong item first but quickly corrected the error. So they get good marks for product and customer service.

Good for sealing headlights at the seam

Not much to say. It's a clear silicone sealant/gel in a tube. You squeeze it where you want it; you smooth out/wipe off the excess; it smells like vinegar for a while and cures at room temperature (RTV = Room Temperature Vulcanizing) to a clear, rubbery, waterproof finish. Like any other silicone sealant (not to be confused with "siliconized" acrylic), it won't take paint, so pick a color that's close to what you're working on. Clear works in most situations. I don't bother with the cap after I open the tube. I leave the nozzle in place and thread a tight-fitting screw into the nozzle hole. It doesn't dry out; I don't have to clean out the nozzle each time and there's no waste.

It would be nice if it came with a scrapper to clean the nozzle for future use.
