FIREPROOF SEALANT
HOWDY TO ALL,
I can't remember where we purchased our fireproof sealant. I have some areas that need attention on the firewall.

There is a 3m Fire sealant at Home Depot also, the 2000 series.

They have 3M FireBarrier 2000 silicone at your Home Depot? The website only lists latex 3M fireblock sealants.

Yeah...
Yeah, I had to look twice at the Home Depot stuff before I realized that it was LATEX.
Ordered the correct stuff on amazon...

Can 3M FIRE BARRIER 2000+ be substituted everywhere one would use Red RTV?

Depends on where you were using red RTV.
I use 3M FB2000 on firewall edges and penetrations, Permatrex Ultra Black (aka Loctite 598) almost everywhere else. Not as corrosive, highly oil-resistant, and lots better looking in an engine compartment.

I was wrong about the 2000 series but it is a 3M polyurethane orange foam fb. Not sure about its performance.

Yeah, I was thinking about all the places Van's calls out for a Dab, such as down the edges of the SEET tubes to keep them from unraveling, or sealing around Baffles.
Thanks,

You have to be careful choosing a fire barrier caulk. On my Lancair I used the stuff that came with my Firewall 2000 Ceramic Blanket kit - 3M, I think. Over the years, it ate into my engine mounts.
