Re: Quick question: rust inhibitor and plugging holes
I'd not use silicone sealer for sealing any holes. The biggest problems with it are:
- If the part moves, it breaks the silicone
- After you have used silicone sealer, nothing else will stick, not paint nor adhesives
- Silicones give off moisture and acid as they cure. You will get rust under the silicone.
If you want to put a bolt in a hole and seal it, use a butyl tape or rope. See an autobody supply house for some butyl windshield sealant. If you ever want, you can remove it. You can tighten or adjust a bolt later and it will continue to seal.
In case you can't tell, silicone sealant is a pet peeve of mine.
