[AT] DC Case

[john hall]

How does it compare performance-wise to black silicone? The only thing I 
don't like about the silicone is I always put the part and can only barely 
tighten it. Then I tighten it like I want the next day. I've never really 
had a problem with it, just wish you didn't have to wait on it to set up.
