RE: [DML] Re: Refinishing the Binnacle



RTV = Room Temperature Vulcanizing.  It's really a class of sealants
that cure at room temperature when exposed to air.  Silicone is usually
the base material in the stuff.  You can get it in various colors.

In my opinion, RTV is not suitable for any automotive application as 
it is not permanent, dissolves in many of the fluids present in an 
engine bay, is a poor adhesive, and is not temperature stable.  There 
are many application-specific potions and goos that are much better 
than RTV.  Ask at a real automotive supply house (NOT Pep Boys, 
Checker, etc.).  Describe your particular problem and they will be 
able to provide the correct product for the job.
