Permatex® Ultra Grey® RTV Silicone Gasket Maker, 85g

DIRECTIONS:

1. For best results, surfaces should be clean and dry.
2. Cut nozzle and apply a continuous 2 to 6mm (1/16″ to 1/4″) bead of silicone to one surface, surrounding all bolt holes. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet. Finger tighten until material begins to squeeze out around flange.
3. Let dry for one hour then tighten to torque specifications.
4. Allow 24 hours to fully cure before filling with fluids or returning to service.
5. Replace cap after use. NOTE: Not recommended for use on head gaskets or parts in contact with gasoline.

The Permatex RTV Silicone that I am using is too thick to fill the gap in my application; can I add acetone to the silicone to make the product thinner?
