Re Guess: Nope it was the guys who tried to sell breasts :doh: instead of silicone RTV sealant, Dow Corning, still in chapter 11 since '95, but going strong. I have to add that I've got a 175 g made in the early 70's with a sealant made by Rhone Poulanc, (French Chemical Company) that is still going strong. (French sarcasm not necessary - been there! )
P.S. RTV stands for Room Temperature Vulcanizing - reacts with moisture in the air, releases acetic acid :boo: but goes away when fully cured. BTW, sealant takes longer to cure when in dry conditions ie winter time when humidity is low, but for most of you guys the humidity is likely high:yes:
