Sounds like the same stuff noted above. If you click on the link, you'll see "3M Fire Barrier Caulk". If so, that stuff will not hold up to the heat of the engine compartment. Maybe you can check the label? It needs a continuous heat rating of at least 400 degrees F.

Follow-up
As an exclamation point to my thread, check out the story on Aero News Network, February 22, 2005, lead story. The link is: http://www.aero-news.net.
This drives home the point regarding firewall integrity.

Firewall Integrity
Good post, Randy. I was going to post the link to the Aero-News article, but I see you've already done it. Sounds like they've done their homework See www.epm-avcorp.com

Small World isn't it, Bob? How about that? By being a member of these forums, you found out what your local EAA chapter is doing! Now that's communication!

Firewall Sealant
PRC-DeSoto (a division of PPG) makes three types of high temp firewall sealant. Go to www.ppg.com/prc-desoto/main.asp. Select "PRC and Pro Seal Aerospace Sealants." That will take you to another page. Select "High Temperature and Firewall." This will take you to the page that has the three sealers listed. They are P/S 700, PR-812, PR-1995. Also listed is a product called Korotherm. This is a high temp primer. You do not need it for your RV.
The normal operating range of each of the sealers is from -65F to +400F. They will withstand a 2000F flame for 15 minutes with no penetration.
I have used both the P/S 700 and the PR-812. They are a little bit difficult to use but the protection they offer is invaluable.
These sealers are not available over the counter. Your local FBO can help you aquire the product.
They have a shelf life so don't purchase until you are ready to use it. They come in quanties as little as 1/2 pint.
One final note: These sealers are not cheap. They are very good however. Download and read the data sheets. These will show you the tests that these sealers underwent.

Bio-Therm 100
This is the stuff that www.epm-avcorp.com include in there firewall penetration kits. They sell tbes of it separately. I just orderd the SS heater vents and a tube of Bio-Therm 100 from them. One thing they mentioned was that the product is not intumescent, which means it does not expand when heated.
