The copper is 'sensor safe' and used FWF. The gray is good where you want a really rigid seal.

Ok, makes sense. What would you use on the end of the stiffeners. The copper one I assume.

Which stiffeners? if you mean the empennage, the black stuff. You would need 3-5 tubes to do the rudder and elevators. I used a 'healthy' blob on each stiffener.

the four 'Ultra' are the ones you want along with the Red 'High Temp'. All remain 'pliable' (rubbery) except Ultra Gray which eventually becomes rock hard.
This is the link to the correct stuff. I will bet you could find something like it in your neck of the woods if you ask an auto repair person about it.

That's indeed what I need it for. The blob on te stiffeners of rudder and elevators. I'll get the black one then.

Thanks to you all for all the answers !
