This is "Silikon HT" by "HANNO" "f\ufffdr hitzebest\ufffdndige Verfugungen".

I expect it is similar to liquid gasket from auto stores, as long as it is  
high temp (200C+), however i bought it as high temperature silicone.

I guess this:
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1267&item=7510111345&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V>  
is a possible source in the US, however, a big DIY store should have it  
too.

What i noticed is that this one seems to have more acetic acid than my  
normal silicone. You can't keep your head close when spreading it. But i  
do not think this is important, it appears the lack of breakdown in the  
fuser is what makes it work. (It cures very fast tho)

TIP: get screw-cap nozzles for all your silicone, it really works! slowly  
but surely they come as standard even with the cheap silicones.
