Re: Removing RTV from Paint
Whatever you have, troll, on your paint, it's not "Room-Temperature
Vulcanizing". That's the mean reason we use Permatex Silicone, for it's
easy of clean up, like when we pull a pan, after years of a good seal,
the stuff comes off like pulling off a rubber band, with our fingers.

Geez, any one that's bought a tube of Permatex knows what it is,
and how it cures, and that it's not a tube of say 3M Adhesives. Troll:
