4kq Taillight R&R

[Bernard Littau]

My new 4kq had a cracked taillight, and therefore a wet trunk.  A local
lister had a spare taillight, so I pulled the cracked one off the car.  When
I removed the taillight, the black "plumbers putty like but more snot like"
material adhered about half to the taillight and half to the car, making it
a poor candidate for reuse.

Where would I get some stuff like what was used to seal the original 4kq
taillights?  Any BTDT on using any other material?  I am tempted to use the
Home Depot gray plumbers putty :-)

Thanks,
