300ml. also available for the 300ml is this. application looks like auto gasket, so maybe needed?
Loctite has a line of applicators for this stuff. However the 300ml tube for $50 would be able to drop into any old caulk gun you have. That makes more sense than buying the proprietary applicator and several small tubes.
In reply to RedGT:
Many thanks. It 'looked' like it would fit, but I wasn't sure.
The MB tool is about $75 plus shipping to your house. It also works for Audi's sealant tube too.
I think the obvious answer is you need to buy one of those gasket applicators from the video.

That was my suggestion earlier. 
Pretty sure I need a second broken M156 before I can justify a robo gasket applicator.

I bet when you're done with it you can sell it to MB_tech2005.
Although thinking about it, a regular CNC router could probably be adapted to do this as well. Remove the router and replace with a pneumatic caulking gun. Then when you're finished with the van you'll have a CNC router - which is great for cutting out cabinet parts, BTW.
(Hey... it worked for buying you a lift)

Exactly. RTV sealants need some thickness, they are not good between two smooth machined surfaces. Anaerobic sealants are for that but they get brittle.
In reply to bowtieBMW: There's always hylomar for that.

I've taken to just bookmarking the current page, then going into my bookmarks and deleting the link from the previous time I did that. Or you could try to remember what day you last read it. They sure do pile up quick on this thread!

Zero-60 expected to be 3.4 seconds to help you get the snow off the roof on those winter mornings. Methinks they should talk to the folks in Munich before heading down the twin-turbo V8 rabbit hole.

I'm baffled by it. Every other forum in the world has one.
Unconvinced by the use of RTV sealants, I would suggest that it is used by the factory because it is cost effective and that the machining pattern is there to allow air to reach the rtv as it is an aerobic cure. RTV silicones will seal, however the surfaces will need to be spotless and wiped down with alcohol. My preference on rigid mating surfaces of the same material is still loctite 518. A pressed metal sump or rocker cover I would use an RTV silicone for its gap filling qualities as the sheet metal will always flex around its fasteners.

Back in my day we didn't have GPS we learned the streets... Sorry I had to

If you have time and space in your head, consider this. You can be your own robo sealant caulker. Look at this setup for making signs with a router. http://rockler.resultspage.com/thumb.php?s=273&f=https%3a%2f%2fassets.rockler.com%2fmedia%2fcatalog%2fproduct%2f4%2f8%2f48356-23-1000.jpg
The important thing is the template.
Get a router base. http://assets.rockler.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/295x295/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/5/9/59811_01-1000.jpg
Modify the base to a. hold an air or electric caulk gun vertical with bushing template guide, b. rise and lower, c. start and stop sealant flow. A D handle base would free one hand to operate on/off, rise/lower.

I don't hardly know what to say, thank you for that offer, I've already sent you a message with the relevant address and stuff.
One of the great joys in life is finding 'your people'. The people that think like you and have the same passions and understand the weirdness that floats through your brain. GRM is that place on the internet, but more that that, it also lets you meet people in real life. For example, this past weekend I had to get a safety plan together for the upcoming rally as I'm the chief of safety. This involved a whole day of driving rally stages, working on rally stages, and fixing rally cars. I also got to drag out the Trophy Kart, get the fuel system sorted and the carb set properly and hoon it around the stages.
After I get the R63 off the lift, the same guy has an ex GrandAm MazdaSpeed3 that he has run up Pikes Peak that needs a transmission rebuild. I've never rebuilt a transmission but it sounds like fun to me! The world is full of regular people, but getting a chance to meet and communicate with people like us makes it a much richer place.
I found you through a daily email sent by Popular Mechanics about 5 weeks ago and have been following you since. I admire you taking on this project. I have learned a better way of keeping removed parts together from you. (I usually take a cell phone pic.) I am nowhere near the mechanic you and others posting here are. I do have minor victories, my husband backed the travel trailer at too sharp and angle and tore the wiring from the 7 pole rv connector. We were miles from anywhere in a huge downpour. I studied that for about 10 minutes and wired it correctly the first time. Once my husband came home from a high mountain 4wd road in our Chevy S10. His fishing partner had to hold the passenger mirror all the way home. Too many trips on rough roads and the mounts just cracked. Husband went to shower and I had The mirror off and a new one ordered by the time he was done. (I would have taken the mirror off when it happened.) I grew up with a bunch of shade tree mechanics. I spent a lot of my life handing tools to them. There are a few other minor vehicle repairs under my belt. Mostly I repair my appliances. The washer (frequently, until I broke down and bought a new one), dryer, range, dishwasher, mixer, many vacuum cleaners, etc. I also wired most of the house when we built it. I checked out books from the library. I relate to you and everyone else here because I have an inkling of the desire to take it apart, repair and make it work again. Your thread inspires me. Your wife supports you in your endeavors. Most of our male friends admire me as the wife repair person. Keep on inspiring me.
Trophy Kart?! Why have I not seen this before????

Add this to the list of things I didn't know I needed until now. That thing is Cool 
Finally, we can get rid of all that annoying grip that go-karts have. Grip makes you weak.

Great, now I want a trophy cart.
