Isn't that just silicone rubber?

Sounds like silicone liquid gasket - I'd have thought motor factors
or engineering suppliers will have it, otherwise something like

I doubt it's silicone based at all, sounds more like a mastic type
compound, as used to seal body seams.

Silastic is a brand name of Dow Corning for their silicone.

For electronics applications we always use Dow Corning Silastic 744 at
work.
The important thing is that it's a neutral cure product, the acetic cure
stuff will cause corrosion problems with the copper in electronic
products.
Neutral cure stuff smells of methanol (I always think a bit "minty"),
acetic smells of vinegar.

If the job's important, I'd get electronics grade silicone from Farnell
or similar, otherwise you local shed/BM will have neutral cure builders
silicone that _may_ do the job.

One word of caution, normal silicone + electronics, often = non
functioning electronics. The acetic acid evolved when it cures is
highly corrosive to copper.

yet it will ,in this case, do the job of sealing and gluing an electrical
case together
