I'm not crazy about silicone myself but it does a good job if used properly.The secret is to use a small amount and let it set up before tightening then don't tighten too much. For times when no gasket is available it can be a life saver.

When installing gaskets it can help to smear a thin layer of silicone on the gasket and let it dry. This will prevent the gasket sticking.
