felpro cork gasket and a little RTV on the kitchen sink drains pipe attachments. where the strainer cup attaches to the plastic stub pipe. you can see the cork with the blue felpro stripes just a little bit when you look down the drains. grey RTV (hondabond i think) on the bathroom tub drain. Permatex The Right Stuff on the bathroom drain. basically anywhere that calls for plumbers putty, i use RTV cause it is so much more permanent and NEVER leaks. brake cleaner to wipe down the surfaces that i was going to caulk in the bathroom tub. 12v car audio active crossover for my subwoofers in the living room as im using separate amps and sub cabinets and there was no crossover in the amp. plus 24db/octave keeps it deep and tight.
