Clear RTV....none finer at any price.
Comes right off when you want to peel stuff apart...NOT A GLUE OR
BONDING agent...it's a SEALER

Permatex gasket products also make great sealers, even at engine
temperatures!

available at lots of auto parts places, Wally World, Lowes, Home
De-pot, etc.

Don't tell anyone you didn't buy it from the most expensive
"marine" place in town, though....(c;

To me, silicone rtv is a sealer or a glue, its rtv. I always recomended
Permatex "sensor safe" products for electronics. It wasn't clear. Silicone is
to also not a good water vapor in my opinion. An old boating article in Nuts &
Volts said something about this, and also recommended using an enamel
coating first to act as a vapor barier. Lacquer is also not a water vapor
barier. I tried using lacquer nail polish on stuff, and it doesn't work
like enamel.
