    anyone ever lined their baffles with marine weather stripping, then wedged them in tightly, i was reading about it somewhere and heard its good for if you ever want to change your layout...all you have to do is pop out a baffle and move it where ever

    A couple of years ago we could find 100 % silicone w/ no additives at Lowe/Home Depot. Last year and this year they have added the mildew resistant stuff and extras to it.

    READ LABEL AND INGREDIENTS CAREFULLY

    They look the same but you must read the small print. We had to buy straight from lfs this time (and I work at a glass company and we normally have it).
