cheap but effective silicone

[lizardking]

Hi all i have been scouring for cheaper but effective ways of doing our christmas light displays so we can buy more blinky i have found at bunnings NEUTRAL CURE UV resistant silicone to help weather proof any wires and wiring joints.
You need neutral cure silicone to stop corrosion on any copper contacts or electrical components any acetic silicone will cause a corrosion problem and will shorten the life span of your components .
Here is what i have found
http://www.bunnings.com.au/parfix-300g-clear-all-purpose-silicone_p1232674
and this one also
http://www.bunnings.com.au/parfix-300g-clear-roof-gutter-and-concrete-silicone_p1232658
the second one can be bought in a 3 pack for $12 just have to look for it
Hope this helps keep the price of incidentals down

Masters also do a cheap range which works well.
There are many different brands and types of silicones that range from $3 a tube to $30 a tube.
Usually you have to look hard for the cheaper ones as the manufacturer pays for the best spot on the shelf so the cheaper ones get low priority.
