Default RTV 108 suppliers

I've bought a new to me 265 gallon aqaurium, it has been sitting empty for over a year, the seals look good but are a little rough. To be on the safe side I want redo the seals.

The best consensus is to use Rtv108, but having a hard time finding it. I went to Ackland grainger but they don't carry it or couldn't find it. I know grainger (USA) carries it but the clerk said thats the US. Anyone have a parts number or sku for Canada?

Ive tried ordering online, but the places I have found won't ship to Canada, of course. Any canadain sources? I would like to order it and have it by next week.

Would Rtv108 be better than GE SCS1200?

Just an FYI for edmonton retailers, MRO electronic sells the 2.8oz tubes for $11 each, the didn't have any 10oz tubes. Electronic connection had 10oz tubes for $15 each. I bought 4 tubes

As for rtv108 being better, based in my research it is better for larger aquariums due it's higher tensile strength.

Curious if it causes Shortness of Breath?


SCS1200 is pretty crazy stuff, so that stuff must be intense!

Tank builders use both. They are both great products. While RTV has a higher tensile strength, it is somewhat negligible.

SCS1200 seems to be a little easier to source in decent quantities.
