Thanks for highlighting you concern. A good mate of mine is a mechanic, he learnt his trade in the Services and has run a garage for the best part of 2 decades. It was on his advice that I bought the Hylomar. He said I should actively avoid using a silicone based sealent as Hylomar is more pliable and does not set.
