One can spend a small fortune buying a small quantity from aviation supply houses, or one can get a standard caulking gun tube full of it in the aviation sealants aisle of Lowes for about $7, IIRC.

Can you recommend a specific caulk and perhaps where > to buy it? Thx. Ron P. You've probably seen the other replies; 3M makes two kinds I've used. The red stuff is readily available at big box stores; it's latex based. Has a kinda gritty texture, but the red color might be its biggest drawback. The gray stuff is silicone based and has been a bit harder to find, but IIRC, Aircraft Spruce stocks it. Be aware that the gray is 'better', but more expensive and being silicone, I found it impossible to get more than a couple of closely spaced uses out of that expensive caulk tube before the entire tube cured into a big fireproof cylinder. Playing with 'the google' this morning brought up some other options that might be better/easier to use for our purposes. If you can find it in 'toothpaste tube' size, it'll likely be more than enough for one project. I had to buy gun sized tubes, and 95%+ cured in the tube and was wasted. One thing to think about is that you're never really finished with a homebuilt. If you caulk the passthrough full, it'll be a real nightmare when (not if) you need to make changes. My plan for my passthroughs is to squirt out 1/4"-3/8" dia 'sticks' of the caulk onto a plastic sheet and let them cure, then stuff the empty spaces in the pass-through with them. Actual sealing will be with firesleeve over the stub of the passthrough, extending a bit onto the wire bundle, and held in place with stainless hose clamps, as has been described here and elsewhere. YMMV, etc. :-) Charlie

    Hi Charlie Is this the gray stuff you are talking about from ACS?: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/firewall2000caulk.php?clickkey=18880 Does it expand as you were talking about? To compare it with the Permatex products that have a 750 and 700F temperature rating, what might the temperature rating of the Firebarrier 2000 be? Thx.

Ron Hi Ron, That product has been touted by many on various aviation forums as being intumescent, and I've always assumed that it was. But I just spent about half an hour prowling the 3M sites and can find no reference to 'intumescent' in their docs. Nor can I find any direct reference to temperature rating; only the 'implication' of 2000 degree rating in the name. The docs refer to various ASTM testing methods, which you can read for about $50 each if you're willing to pay. On the other hand, this stuff: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Fire-Barrier-Sealant-CP-25WB-/?N=5002385+3293123924&rt=rud does have the magic word in its description, and mentions a 1000 degree temp rating. 3M Fire Barrier Watertight Silicone 3000 WT Sealant is also listed by 3M as being intumescent. I've attached a pdf of 3M fire block products. Hope it will make it through; its 1.5Mbytes.

    If an engine fire has burned through a 1/4" bead of 700F silicone caulk th at has a stainless cover, it has already burned off the head of every alumi num rivet and turned every bit of epoxy around it to ash.=C2- I don't see the advantage beyond what is cheap and readily available.

    More that once, I've seen a grey-beard at Raytheon- Beech give someone the 'evil eye' for suggesting any sort of uckem-yucky for use on production lines. I won't say that tubes of squeeze-out-stuff were never used on the finished product but it was rare. Pass-thrus on the 30 series airplanes were configured as shown in attached. A piece of firesleeve was first 'doped' on the ends to prevent fraying (yup, that was a brush-on uckem-yucky). It was clamped hard onto the feedthru tube. If the wires passing thru did not 'fill' the voids, pieces of firesleeve 'tape' were wrapped around and thru the strands and secured with a string tie before a second stainless clamp would bring the matrix of firesleeve into close contact with wires. This closure method was no doubt 'proofed' by Puff-the-Magic-Dragon who resided in Jack Thurman's house of horrors. No ooze, goop, or wiping rags yet EASY to disassemble for maintenance or addition of new wires. Bob . . .

    Hi Charlie That's the stuff I've been using, I called 3M because it's hard to figure out all details from documentation, the maximum service temperature is 302F, it has a fire rating of 4 hours. 4 hours means nothing to me so I had representative try to explain. I asked if that's 4 hours with a propane torch on top of it, and oxyaceletene torch on top of it or the neighbor burning garbage 2 miles away. The best I could get is it isn't meant for an aeroplane, so I posed how about a car, how would it hold up to a gas or oil fire on a car. Well their product isn't meant for a car either. It's meant for sealing to sheet rock and then it will hold up for 4 hours: Firestop tested up to 4 hours in accordance with ASTM E 814 (UL 1479) & CAN/ULC S115 Fire Resistance tested for construction joint systems in accordance with ASTM E 1966 (UL 2079) Class 25 sealant, per ASTM C That's all I got, doesn't mean much to me. I have some Red Dow 736 meant for 500 and short 600F and tested it with a torch on it along with Fire Barrier 2000, didn't see much difference, perhaps the gray was slightly slightly better but they both go away.

    I think Bob is saying that the firesleeve/hose clamp method (which I also referenced) was tested in a production aircraft facility (Raytheon-Beech) using a blowtorch type device, to FAA qualification required limits, and I suspect that Jack Thurman ran the testing division.

    Buy your CP2102 from Alibaba, USD $7.00 at my door in New Zealand, for my Stratux power supply I use a UBEC DC/DC Step-Down (Buck) Converter - 5V @ 3A output USD$9-95 (postage not included). Fits in the Statux case and is powered of my aircraft 12v. No need to worry about battery packs. To make more room for the CP2102 in the Stratux case I removed the pins and directly soldered the RS232 wires to the CP2102 which is connected to my MGL EFIS Also purchased my Stratux USB GPS off Alibaba, another USD$12.00 delivered. Broke my bank :) Modified the CP2102 as per the previous included thread instructions. All works a dream for ADSB-IN which in NZ is 1090 only.

Ron P. Which one? It seems there are multiple threads going, and some of us are using email (I am, anyway) and others are using the web based list, so I don't know which product you're talking about. The F-B-2000? If so, it would seem that you're probably right, since they're so vague with info. They do claim 1000F+ for the CP 25 WP+ intumescent caulk. Spec sheet attached, showing that the intumescent action happens at 1000 degrees F. For simple seam sealing, if we're realistic, just about anything would be fine, like Ernest said. The latex based intumescent stuff (CP25WP+) is much cheaper, and ideal for filling empty space around wires, etc in holes, but even that is probably overkill if you use the firesleeve/hose clamp method Bob linked.
