Will this stuff work for sealing my board up?

I know it says it would in the article but I want to know for sure.

ummmm

I wouldnt, having just killed my board with a silicone RTV that ate into the PCB. I'd be VERY suspicious of some unnamed silicone sealant. And it says seal your "watercooling system" and not your motherboard. Take nothing for granted. Go to mcmaster.com and purchase some non corrosive silicone sealant by dow corning or GE, my friend

Son, its about that time for us to have a talk about sealants. I know you don't want to hear this and you know it already, but im going to tell you anyway. Go to walmart go to the home improvement section look for something called Silicone II. Its made by General Electric, and it comes in various different use forms. I used the gray "Household Glue" kind. It says on the tube 100% Silicone Sealant, go figure.

<rant>
BTW: Miller are you crazy, $4.99 for Silicone plus S&H, man you need to take a trip down to your local home improvement shop, like ACE Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, and even WalMart. Most of the little things people use for watercooling can be found there, like hose, clamps, sealant, fittings, etc.. Save yourself the loot and get a better radiator or something.

Miller, I reiterate; you are fsking nuts.

That's foam, true, but dont forget you have all sorts of other qualities that are important to you. You have no idea of its conductive or absorbtion properties. You want CLOSED-CELL foam, remember?

Try this, its what I have:
