I've seen both sealants recommended and I'm trying to figure out where the preference is.

So...

Which product do you use for case sealing and cylinder to case sealing?

I have no experience with the Curil products, but Dow Corning 730 with the obvious proper surface-prep needed for all of them has never leaked a drop on any of my builds. Before that it was Aviation Permatex and a silk thread (case). Dating myself?
