Does anyone sell liquid silicone that is just in a bottle, not a spray can?

Reason I ask is, I have been in the habit of using silicone on my car's
door gaskets, but only have it in two forms - first, as a spray
lubricant, and secondly, as a grease (Sil-Glyde) either one of which
works, but is not as convenient to apply to weatherstripping as would be
a plain liquid that one could wipe on with a rag.

BTW, it really does work, since I started doing that I haven't heard
that awful sound of my door gaskets ripping apart because they froze to
the door yet... spray silicone in the door lock cylinders every fall too...

Have you tried spraying the stuff onto the rag and then wiping it onto
the gaskets???

yes, that's what I'm currently doing, it just seems wasteful if a
straight liquid product is available. Unfortunately, I haven't seen one.

Sure, mostly in small quantities it's found as a waterproofing for
boots, etc. Locally, it's in stock at the store that specializes in Boy
Scout gear and the like. Hunting supplies, many working-man's outlets,
etc., will have it for boots, etc.

I'm sure google will find it online w/ that as keyword...larger
quantities (like gal. and up) are generally industrial use (but doesn't
sound like you're using much).

I'll have to check that out.

I thought I should mention, and did not in my original post, that if you
do this, try not to get any silicone on the car's paint, otherwise if
you ever have the car repainted your body shop will curse your name.

Try googling "silicone oil sale". I remember using it by the gallon in
the lab as a heat transfer medium.

That's it all right, I think, but at 106 dollars for one kilogram, it
maybe less wasteful but it won't be cheaper than what Nate's doing
now.

I've found that before, that it's cheaper to buy what they sell a lot
of than a little, just like the books say.

Maybe this actually is cheaper per weight, but it will take too long a
time to use a kilogram, I think.

And, how would you apply the liquid? To the seal, and then use a rag?

I'm assuming that I'd soak a rag with it and then wipe it on. That's
what I've been doing with the spray.

buy that locally rather than having to order it.

Be careful. Brake fluid can mar your paint job.
I use the ubiquitous tire wet products on the moldings. Spray it on a
cloth and wipe the moldings.

Liquid silicone is sold in bottles to help join together vinyl
gutters. It's applied to the gaskets of those gutters.

Nate Nagel wrote:

I forgot to mention that, in addition to vinyl gutter gasket lube,
there's DOT 5 brake fluid. That's DOT 5, not DOT 5.1, which is non-
silicone and, if it's anything like DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid, will
eat paint.

Right, you're thinking of DOT3/4 though. DOT5 is silicone based, hence
my question . It doe *not* eat paint, although for various reasons it's
both better (higher boiling point) and worse (tends to trap bubbles)
than conventional DOT3/4 fluids as a brake fluid.

Have you tried Armor All? I believe it contains silicone and
won't harm paint or plastics. As for your lock cylinders,
graphite is a much better lubricant for them.

that's a love it or hate it thing I think. Some locksmiths recommend
