Should be good enough....just make sure the Silicone you get is not LATEX based...that stuff take about 2 weeks to cure.....If it does not smell like vinnegar when you use it you have the wrong stuff.....if you want more of the black stuff ( called " bear $hit" in the industry) go to a shop that installs automotive windows and ask for some of the sealant they use...it comes in strips and is pretty much the same stuff


Just my $0.02

Go to AutoZone or Pep Boys and get the clear silicone...there is a brand called No. 7....that's the best, it comes in a white tube. It has good heat resistance, and is crystal clear and it's not runny at all. Just don't go banging someone's wife...: ) HA HA....I like to kid around.
