Permatex80050 Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant, 3 oz

Not much to say. It's a clear silicone sealant/gel in a tube. You squeeze it where you want it; you smooth out/wipe off the excess; it smells like vinegar for a while and cures at room temperature (RTV = Room Temperature Vulcanizing) to a clear, rubbery, waterproof finish. Like any other silicone sealant (not to be confused with "siliconized" acrylic), it won't take paint, so pick a color that's close to what you're working on. Clear works in most situations.I don't bother with the cap after I open the tube. I leave the nozzle in place and thread a tight-fitting screw into the nozzle hole. It doesn't dry out; I don't have to clean out the nozzle each time and there's no waste.

The Permatex 80050 Clear RTV Silicone Sealant is my go-to for sealing and bonding around the house. It’s waterproof, flexible, and adheres to metal, glass, plastic, vinyl, and more—no sagging or cracking even in extreme temps from –75 °F to 400 °F.It applies easily and cures to a clear finish that's perfect for weather strips, windshields, electrical connections, and other DIY fixes.Sensor-safe and vibration-resistant, this general-purpose RTV is ideal for indoor/outdoor use. A reliable staple in any toolkit!

I used this to glue a cell phone ring holder to a silicone cell phone case. Its been 3 weeks and it feels very secure.

This is my first experience with silicone adhesive, so I don't have anything to compare it to. Bought it because I had ordered a refrigerator gasket (seal) that just wasn't popping into place, as it was supposed to. Returning it was too cumbersome, so I was advised to try silicone adhesive. This one was reasonably priced, with good reviews.It's the perfect size for my project, and the applicator can be removed so it can be re-capped--little waste. I had to cut the tip of the applicator several times for the adhesive to come out, making a bigger hole than I had planned. Given its thickness, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I was hoping, though, that I could just squeeze the tube and apply the contents in the gap between the gasket and the fridge door. However, as the silicone adhesive is squeezed out, it curls up on itself, making it difficult to get into the gap. I had to use my fingers to try and push it into the gap. I made quite a mess. Perhaps I should have cut the applicator at an angle, as with caulk?Silicone adhesive doesn't adhere very quickly, it seems; so the gasket immediately popped off again in a few places. I focused on a smaller area, taped it off and quickly shut the fridge door to hold the gasket in place. The next day I found a few spots that needed to be re-glued.I don't think my difficulties are necessarily the fault of the product. I just don't think refrigerator seals are meant to be sealed. But so far, it seems to be holding.

Needed to fix a leaking hot tub and 24 hours later I am filled back up and running. Applied a lot to the area around the leaking pipe and the seal is complete. pushed and pulled on the pipe and there is no water coming out the sides anymore. Was thinking I was done for but this solved it. Dries clear and complete in about 24 hours. Bought 2 tubes just in case but will be keeping the second on for a just in case event. Good stuff!

Works great!

Great value and high quality

Lo utilicé para mi carro, teñí entrada de agua por el parabrisas, pega rápido peor lo malo es que donde caiga te mancha, pero cumple su función
