Where does one find High Temp silicone for vent pipe in clear or silver/grey to seal the pellet vent pipe?

thanks
 
Our local hardware store carries it, though not in silver, I think they had clear.
this one is red:

If you can't find it, look for hi-temp RTV silicone at a local auto parts store like NAPA. The stuff I found for our pellet insert was blue, but the flue was out of sight and the sealant worked fine.

Don't know if this will help, but Home Depot had black hi temp when i was in there the other day looking around in the wood stove/pellet stove area, and the local auto parts store should have the red. I've never seen clear or silver.
 
I can help.

Walmart sells the red, $3 some thing.
 
Thanks for thr replies.
I have the red and ultra copper color. What I really want is clear or silver/grey. A friend told me he used clear from his dealer but didn't know if it was high temp, and I no longer have contact with him.

Hi temp silicone is usually rated to 600 or 650 degrees.
