| Subject: | red goo on firesleeve |
I was reminded today of the red goo that folks use to close up the exposed
bit of insulation in firesleeve at the ends of their hoses. What is this
stuff and where can I get it? Would red RTV work as well, or is it too
viscous?

RTV is not very good at stopping the spread of fire. 3M makes a product
called fire seal or some name similar to that. It comes in the same
tube as caulking so you can apply it with your normal caulking gun.
Both Lowes and Home Depot stock it in their aviation departments.

Ignore my last post. The RTV is fine for sealing firesleve ends. If
yopu need to seal an opening for wire pass thooughs the previously
mentioned fire seal is better. When heated it expands and forms an even
better seal. Over heated RTV will run. Not a problem on firesleve ends
but a major problem if it leaves an opening that fire can pss through.
