That stuff is
HORRIBLE!
I've had a few run-ins with it in my car hobby. And RCA used it to hold the glass to the CRT bezel on a lot of early/mid 50s consoles (including the CT-100.)
It defies the laws of physics: one cubic mm of that stuff can spread its self out enough to have blobs and smears all over your face, in your hair, all over your dog, floor, and somehow it will work its way into a hermetically-sealed environment
. It takes a gallon of lacquer thinner to clean it off the windshield after you accidentally smear a blob of it while trying to clean the windshield months after being installed.
I'll stick with the tape and silicone
