By the way, unopened tubes of RTV3145 are good for about a year past their expiration date. My tube (down to about a third of a tube) is still good, with an expiration in May 2011!! I got it at a flea market - some guy bought a bunch of Bendix aviation tooling and supplies and was liquidating it at a flea market. Wire crimpers, strippers, cable lacing, all for pennies. Thankfully, he had not looked at ebay before pricing his stuff. I got 3 brand-new wire strippers for 15 dollars and a bunch of wire (23 rolls, about 50 pounds in all) for 28 bucks. I got three tubes of RTV for 5 bucks, and have used about 1 and two-thirds tubes of the stuff since 2010.

Cheers,
