RTV100 silicone where to get it

after researching different products for my new tank build Ive found RTV100 to be the most preferred.
Does anyone know where to get this?

I've been looking into silicon for my tank... And everyone is recommending GE 1200 to me and "APPARANTLY," though I haven't checked it out yet, most pet shops should have it.

I hope this helps

I got my GE SCS1200 from GE Polymershapes on United in PoCo.

RTV100 is stronger according to their spec sheets but there wouldn't be much difference for 99% of applications any hobbyist would be using them for.

Check out Acklands-Grainger - they should have it in stock.

Nope. GE I is consumer grade. GE SCS1200 is a construction grade adhesive/sealant. I remember reading somewhere that All Glass Aquariums (or whatever it's called now) uses GE1200 to build their tanks.
