    By non-drying I assume they mean non hardening and there isn't anything better than either Loctite #2 or #6 depending on the application. If the orings are compressed, use #2 otherwise use #6

    see here - http://www.loctite.com/int_henkel/loctite_uk/index.cfm?&pageid=336&layout=2

    Contact murphy engineering supplies in Dublin 01-4500088 for supply.

    Did you leave the last sealant time to set? Did you clean the sealing faces with alcohol-based solvent (silicone won't set if exposed to alcohol)

    Embarrarrased cough. Read the instructions with the sealant. It said leave for 24 hrs to cure. cleaned everything up, refitted and left overnight. everything water tight went on 250 mile drive all was ok no leaks. Thanks Inter never thought of curing time. :o
