[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 380186, member: 4485"] Two reasons I've always steered clear of silicone/silastic: 1. They contain carbon. Carbon is conductive. Not sure of any adverse effects but I don't need anymore especially ones that I can control 2. Moisture can still form under your skid plate even if silicone sealed. If you think getting the tape off is a pain then I would imagine depending on what silicone product you used then it would be worse when time comes to remove/replace the skid plate? P.s. IMO the best electrical tapes to use are the cloth types. I wouldn't recommend the PVC type but each to their own. P.s.s Some tapes can contain conductive elements too - I guess that's why electrical/insulating tapes are preferred over others. [/QUOTE]
