Hey all-
I'm running some of the conduit that Van's sells (corrugated plastic). Is there a preferred or recommended type of RTV or adhesive for rib pass-thrus? Does it matter? There are like 50 types of RTV and I'm trying to make a good all around decision.

Thanks all.

I use Shoe Goo, not RTV.

I like Amazing Goop. I've used it on the conduit and also to stick down zip tie mounts. Works well.

Dow Corning 3145 RTV

It is "kinda" expensive but it's a MIL spec sealant/adhesive that works really well, and it does not dry up in the tube so you actually get to use most of rather than throw it away.

When you build the fuel tanks (or rudder), just use leftover proseal.

Thank you all-
I' went with the Dow Corning 3145 RTV Walt suggested. After some research and comparison the temp ranges and adhesion properties of the 3145 meet & actually exceed my requirements. With dark paint, some areas (the emp tips) might get pretty hot in the south if in the sun for a while. Better off safe then sorry later on. Thanks VAF!
