Thank you for the emisupply URL! I ordered from them, they shipped promptly, huge calking type tube of RTV like glue
Easy to work with, smells like vinegar, sticky and cured quickly [per instruction/description]
Best of all! coffee pot does not leak and is now back in service!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND EMI Supply
Thanks again, I knew people here would know the answer
