you can find it in the plumbing department

we wrap it over the pipe joint springs and all to keep it sealed and in place , since using it i have never had a leak or the pipe joint fail during a crash . the stuff has no sticky glue and after stretching and wraping your pipe it somehow bonds to itself forming a solid silicone seal pretty neat trick i learned from a couple of the guys at my local track .

highly recomended
