Thanks. The trick is to get someone that actually knows the part number and 
manufacturer for whatever "some sort of dark-colored silicone sealant" is to 
reply with that information. I should have been more specific in my query. 

And to prevent the next 100 obvious posts - please don't respond with "just use 
an RTV sealant". That might work, but I have an expectation that there is a 
superior product from a company like 3M that is perfect for this type of 
application and I'm curious if someone knows what it is. 

Cheers,

P.S. Sounds like someone who operates the FQP needs to learn how to solder and 
waterproof PL-259s   heh heh heh...  ;-)
