This looks like adhesive specific to your application https://www.rpelectronics.com/1035-85ml-rtv-silicon-clear-adhesive.html |

I'd think the GE Silicone II would work OK.For somewhat more flexibility, the crafts industry sells a wide variety of two-part silicone mold-making resins.For example: https://www.amazon.com/Smooth-Silicone-Making-OOMOO-30/dp/B004BNF3TK/https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/mold-max/ |

there is a chinese company that specialises in silicone products. 705 is a specially usefull one because you can seal windows, leds etc. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302814126123 |

There's also this stuff Available for cheap from the usual suspects. It's thermally conductive which is good if you need to spread the heat around. (But it cures firm like adhesive.) |

--- Quote from: rdl on February 04, 2019, 07:12:26 pm ---I'd never heard the term "silastic" until watching EEVblog. I think it just refers to a type of silicone glue that cures to a rubbery state and is non-corrosive. --- End quote --- Silastic (a portmanteau of 'silicone' and 'plastic') is a trademark registered in 1948 by Dow Corning Corporation for flexible, inert silicone elastomer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silastic Where I used to work, everyone called it RTV (room temperature vulcanizing). If I recall correctly, I have heard that as it cures it gives of ammonia(?) which corrodes copper. I don't know if this is true or not. |
