Does anyone sell liquid silicone that is just in a bottle, not a spray can?

Reason I ask is, I have been in the habit of using silicone on my door
gaskets, but only have it in two forms - first, as a spray lubricant,
and secondly, as a grease (Sil-Glyde) either one of which works, but is
not as convenient to apply to weatherstripping as would be a plain
liquid that one could wipe on with a rag.

Ask your local industrial lubricants house for Dow Corning 200, or for
GE Silicones Viscasil. Available in a wide variety of viscosities. The
minimum order is probably a 5 gallon drum but you might talk them out of
smaller samples.

If you cant talk them out of a sample, let me know and I'll pick up a
small bottle the next time I work in the plant laboratory and will mail
it to you.

I don't know if it is still available anywhere, but there is, or was a
product for waterproofing leather shoes.I am not sure, but I think it
was based on silicone.

Some commercial quality photo copy machines use silicone
oil as a lube. It comes in small plastic bottles.
Its thick like molasses. Get it on you and it won't come off.
