So crazy odd question. How do you prefer to use RTV?
I'm hoping to actually start a SYE install next week, of course I've been saying that for the last several months and well... it seems life just keeps throwing me curve balls. Anyway, I've noticed on several instructional videos after applying RTV then smear it around then wait 1 hour before mating the case halves. Is that common procedure with RTV? In the past when I've used RTV (which I learned from my dad) the procedure goes like... squeeze it out and install the part. I can't recall ever seeing my dad smearing it or waiting an hour.
Just thought I'd ask before I wreak havoc on my case.
Oh, and yeah, as a follow-up.
I've seen videos where they use Red RTV or Black RTV, anyone ever use Green RTV for transfer case applications?

I'm just wondering if high temp is actually needed here or if I should use green instead?
Thanks in advance for comments and life lessons.
