    From the factory, they use [something that sounds like] Silk-o-flex (?). The service tech that came to re-caulk my sheetmetal got it at Home Depot. I know that he picked it up on the way.

    Did you have some new/custom sheetmetal made for your machine? If so, can you recommend a supplier?

    Loctite and Permatex both make a "Blue RTV" sealant that is superb.
    The blue will even stick to oily surfaces.
