    On one of my itb's the trumpet wobbles slightly where the sealant appears to have come away from the body. Clearance is tight to the bonnet and there is a slight rubbing of the paint-i might remove the thermal insulator from between the head and body to cure this??

    Is there a specific sealant i need or will anything do?
