I went to advance auto parts today because I was going to clear my corners. Got all the parts but I don't know if I got the right size bottle. Its only 1.5oz Permatex Silicone Sealant. Do I need more? I want to get the right size before I start this adventure.

on 1.5oz... you probably will. while my lights were still warm (used oven method) i put a nice solid bead of silicone down into the seam, and since it was warm, the silicone got even more liquid-y. i ended up using a little more then 1/3 of the tube.
