Working on my 50 year old Triumph Spitfire, and I'm looking for the sealer
that is used between the master cylinder bracket and the firewall.  We
always called it dum-dum.  It came in pencil-sized strips liked up on heavy
waxed paper.

But when I go to the FLAPS and ask for dum-dum, they look at me like I'm
doomed sort of dum-dum.

Is there another name for this stuff?
