Working on cars is second nature to me. Actually a stress relief. I really do look for things I can take apart.... clean... make it better.... whatever.

wait...stress relief working on cars? that's a new one haha. I usually make a sailor blush when im working on something
LOL... a lot of SBF guys call these China walls. I didn't make the name, but I use it because they know what I mean. The kits come with rubber or cork pieces that eventually work their way out and you've got a leak.
Not my pic, BTW. The Google machine found it for me.
Speaking of caulk, is a caulk gun what you use to apply the stuff in your link?
Ahh, I see. Yep, caulk gun tube. Wish it came with a washered screw cap and a few extra tips. Like 3M provides with their pricey caulk. Hate cleaning out the tips when finished.....I get that crap everywhere then lol.
What about that stuff ? Is it pressurized or does it require a gun ?

Stress relief?
Maybe going into the job, but if some problem arises and you can't fix it. Stress goes thru the roof... fast!
Take that broken petcock radiator plastic drain plug last week for example. It's not leaking, took it into mechanic and he said don't touch it, leave as be it won't leak...
IF he tries to remove the broken plug from the rad it might ruin the threads etc and the repair will be bigger....
Let's hope he's right and this thing doesn't start leaking!
its all about how you handle it, if something goes sideways, let out some colorful language and walk away for 5-10 mins. come back with a cool head and devise a plan to render said problem
