Installed the heat vent (kind of)

I lined up the 2 inch hole in the firewall with the 2 inch hole in the back of the heat vent to determine where the bolts holes needed to be drilled in the firewall. After drilling the holes, I put some sealant on the back of the vent and bolted it to the firewall. I went into the house to take a break and then it hit me, "Which tube of what stuff did I use for sealant?". I went back out and saw the Permatex 2 tube laying on the work bench. "DAMN", I used the wrong tube of goo. I removed the vent and cleaned off all the Permatex 2 with laquer thinner (God's gift to idiots). Then I grabbed the "right" tube of RTV and redid the installation.
