THIS is why you dont use RTV

Aren't the directions put in on, tighten only a little, wait a few hours, then tighten to spec. After 24hrs its gtg. I can't see a shop doing this!

That's what I've seen on the back of every tube I've ever bought. Every time I followed directions it worked flawlessly. The only time RTV didn't work for me was when I was using it to redneck-engineer something and it was the wrong tool for the job.
