Sealants are a necessary product to have on hand to perform repairs on different types of materials. Whether you need to improve the quality of your home or fix a damaged item that you own, it is important to know that not all sealants are created equal. Each product varies as to how effective it is in terms of bonding and mending. We spent a week testing multiple sealants on the market to find the best products to recommend to consumers after careful review. Our top pick is the Permatex 85913 Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant, because it can be applied on vertical surfaces and resists oil, water, grease, and environmental elements. The Loctite Clear Silicone Waterproof Sealant is a runner-up and was selected as our honorable mention, because it bonds well to different materials and doesn’t crack, peel, or shrink after it cures. Finally, our green pick is the Aqueon Silicone Sealant, because the formula contains non-toxic silicone and offers a long-lasting bond for leaks.
