GE Clear Silicone: My Threaded Roof-Box Connections
I applied clear sealant at the threaded PVC connections entering the metal roof boxes. GE Advanced clear silicone was listed with the materials for that assembly session.
The roof layout combined metal boxes, cable glands and threaded PVC connectors. I recorded clear sealant at the male-thread connections into those boxes, alongside PVC cement at the separate pipe joints.
The photographs place those entries beside the pipe route and its mounting arrangement. Drilling, fitting, wiring and fastening were separate actions around each small connection point.

My Takeaway for Choosing the Kit
I would organize the application by access to the joint and the dispensing format. GE and Gorilla provide clear silicone in caulking-gun cartridges; DAP provides a small squeeze tube. The difference is the container and nozzle handling around a small connection, while my diary keeps the silicone and PVC-cement jobs separate.

Caulking cartridge
GE’s Advanced Silicone 2 Kitchen & Bath sheet describes a flexible silicone sealant and separates preparation, application and cleanup. The clear version is the product recorded here; the manufacturer notes that the appearance of the cured bead depends partly on its thickness. For a camper-van materials reference, the useful distinctions are the product family, bead-applied format and the actual surfaces being joined. This technical sheet adds product information to my existing roof-box connection story without turning that recorded use into a new compatibility claim. It also keeps the silicone separate from paintable acrylic caulks and construction adhesives.
The technical sheet explains that bead thickness affects the cured product’s clarity.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The Gorilla alternative comes in a caulking-gun cartridge, while DAP provides a small squeeze tube. Both are clear silicone products with different dispensing formats. Container size and nozzle handling are useful distinctions for a small joint-application task.
