<VV> Corvair Master cylinder

His point is well taken. Silicon is a LOT closer to what sand is than
silicone. 

 

You think?  First I've got a Ron flunking Earth Science 101, now you come
and flunk Materials 220...the state of the educational system in this
country never ceases to amaze!  

At least as far as physical properties are concerned. 

 

Okey Dokey..but ya'll started it!  

 

"Silicone" is polymerized siloxane...like ANY polymer; it comes in a wide
variety of physical forms, from an oily liquid to a rigid solid.  Some of
them are not only solids, but are abrasive as hell!  How well do you think
your brakes are going to work with window caulk in the MC...how about "Silly
Putty"...or a plastic harder than Polycarbonate?  They're ALL "silicones"!  

 

How far you boys want to take this?
