    Hi, Spike. You are correct. In my haste to get the word out that the
    RTV and heat cured silicones have come a long way in tear strength,
    I did not state it properly. I should have said "approaching the
    tear strength of natural rubber." Actually, some of our heat cured
    silicones are a lot closer to natural rubber than our silicone RTV. 

    Thanks for pointing it out. Best wishes, 

Bill Mull
