Question Silicone: What would we do without the sticky stuff?

You know I have this pesty little control panel up above the Climate Control just behind the rearview mirror, that is considered my dome light, map/book light. It kept falling down. I guess it was just worn out. I was puzzled as what to do. I couldn't think of a thing. I even started a thread. Low and behold, Brian Carlton tells me to use silicone and build up the inside edges. It worked. Thanks, Brian. What have you done with silicone? I bet there are some interesting stories behind all of that sticky glue.

Be careful with the use of Silicone on metal parts. You definately DON'T want to use it to seal around a windshield.
Silicone is corrosive to steel parts over time. In certain cases it is best to use an Acrylic based sealant.

I agree with boneheaddoctor. I dated a girl once who got a boob job. Accidently used silly putty instead of silicone. Now she's a 38 long....

That's ok. We won't tell. Even if she does find out, the rest of us would be in the clear. Take one for the team.

Judging from my own experience with Italian women...., if anyone would like to know what she'd do when pissed, just take a look at Boneheaddoctor's avatar. Any more questions?
