Hi guys,

I am trying to find Neutral curing Silicone to seal up a ABS unit I need to fix - I can't use normal RTV, as it gives off acetic acid when it cures which is corrosive to electronics.

I found Loctite make one that fits the bill by the look of it:

Does anyone know if that will do the job (ie. not damage the electronic board), know recommend a product that is easy to get hold of and/or cheaper?

Cheers.

You could go for a polyurethane sealant if it's just to bond a cover on (Tiger seal etc.) These don't release any acid during curing.
