RE: [rp-ml] Patching Silicone RTV Molds

I've had some success patching silicone molds and castings using either
shin-etsu brand caulking or any other 100% silicone. Clear in my opinion is
best. You can use a small bit of Naptha and a fine paint brush to wipe the
excess away. Do not use too much as it will temporarily swell your mold. You
can use 99% alcohol in lieu of the naptha but I feel like this leaves a
small film of the silicon on your piece.

Has anyone on the list had any good luck with patching an existing RTV mold?
If so, how did you accomplish this repair?
