    Are there any decent articles or videos out there that do a good job of explaining the different types of RTV gaskets out there and what color should be used where? There are so many brands that make them (Loctite, Permatex, JB Weld, etc) and within those brands there are multiple colors, and sometimes within the colors, there are variations of hi-track, quick set, hi temp, etc.
