80050 Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant, 3 oz

This stuff works very well and has great adhesion.

Works well for home adhesive projects

Works as well as any other silicone adhesive, curing time is good and application is quick and mess free with application tip. There is a little bit of a smell so just cure it in a area of your home you don't visit often.

Glue works well. I used this on several little projects and it holds good

This stuff works great for reattaching the soles of my cheap shoes I use for yard workback to the uppers. Works much better than Shoe Goo.

Why do I buy Permatex Clear RTV Adhesive/sealant? The only reason is that it comes in smaller handier tubes. Here is my reasoning... "RTV" stands for "Room Temperature Vulcanizing". People don't realize it, but all silicone adhesive/sealants that you purchase at hardware and auto parts stores are "RTV's", no matter if they say it on the label or not. (There are also specialized curing silicone's, such as the ones used in hobby and manufacturing mold making, but a two part mixable silicone is typically used rather than RTV.) Silicone Sealant is the best sealant available for most applications. It is far more resistant to drying out and cracking than latex based sealants, is more waterproof, and is more permanent. I personally like it because it doesn't seem to attract dust and dirt as much as latex sealants. When you absolutely need a waterproof seal (boats, engine cooling systems, etc.) you use silicone. Disadvantages to silicone is it has a very strong vinegar smell while curing, it is not water soluble so it's harder to clean up, and paint doesn't stick to it as well as latex. If you are sealing around something that doesn't see a lot of heat extremes and moisture, and/or needs to be painted, you may prefer latex. Because it isn't very paint-able, silicone is available in several colors. Silicone can have different formulations that change it's characteristics slightly. All silicone's are highly waterproof, but some formulations are even better for 100% water immersion (like on a boat hull). Some have a wider temperature range. Some dry slightly faster, etc. Permatex makes other more specialized formulations which are top notch (mostly for automotive applications), but this particular package is just great plain old clear silicone sealant. Which is better for emergencies, latex or silicone? Let's say your working in a restaurant, and you have a customer restroom sink bowl start leaking that stays wet almost 24/7. You can't close the bathroom for an extended period of time because of constant use. Do you use latex or silicone? I have been in this situation and at first chose latex because of its faster drying time. The problem was, because latex is water soluble and it was exposed to dampness constantly, it never dried, and eventually just washed off. When I switched to silicone, it was waterproof even when not fully cured. Although exposed to the damp environment it did eventually cure, all the while stopping the leak. So would I choose Permatex Clear RTV adhesive/sealant over other brands of plain clear silicone? Probably not, but it does come in that nice conveniently small tube and it is available just about everywhere. Recommended

Crazy but we bought this to repair one of my daughter’s favorite squishy toys that kept leaking. I wasn’t able to find the exact same one to purchase so this was my solution. That’s to some research, I found that silicone adhesive can help repair the squishy toys. We did let it sit a few days to dry and so far so good, no more leaks!

Great product. The seller sent me the wrong item first but quickly corrected the error. So they get good marks for product and customer service.

It would be nice if it came with a scrapper to clean the nozzle for future use.
