Default 3M? Fire Barrier Silicone Sealant 2000+

I'm nearing the point of sealing/riveting the firewall/penetrations and firewall recess. Having searched and read previous threads on what product to use, "3M? Fire Barrier Silicone Sealant 2000+" seems to be the product I will use.

Naturally, it cannot be found locally and on the web it seems that a 5 gallon pail or a box of 24 tubes is the way it comes. I'm thinking 1 or 2 10 ounce tubes should fix me for life.

May I ask, for those of you that used this product, where did you find it and in what quantities?

Thanks,

I found mine at a local industrial electrical supply store here in Tempe, AZ. $20.00 for a tube. Did a quick search for where to buy it at http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3.../where-to-buy/ Albuquerque seems to be the closest. Try one of these guys.
