I recall a magazine article where a body shop owner really
discouraged the use of silicone/RTV as a body sealer because of
the acetic acid content. He wasn't claiming it would
immediately eat a hole through the body, but suggested not
using something that would aggravate a rust problem when there
are very good non-corrosive alternatives.
It stuck in my mind because I read it the day after sealing a
leaking windshield with black RTV... :-(
