Sealant used for expansion plugs

Hi folks,

I read through a few threads about these plugs but couldn't find any specific references to sealants used.

I am replacing the 6 plugs on the T98 access ports.

I've used Permatex Aircraft sealant for most gaskets during the rebuild.
However I am wondering what folks have used for these plugs ?

Thanks

That same sealant will work just fine. Permatex #2 would be my other choice.

We have used copper infused silicone in expansion plug bores for years, never had a single issue, so I feel that is a good choice.
