masking of slots and recesses in components ,during powder coating
and other finishing processes,it also makes an excellent gasket or
seal around oven doors ,or other high temperature applications ,when
used to mask slots ,the silicone cord is stretched,which reduces its
diameter,then placed into te slot to be masked,and the tension removed
it then springs back to it's original size to fill the slot,Alternatively,
