I would not recommend the use of any acetic cure silicon such as that for IEM construction, they are far from skin safe and rely on moisture in the air for curing and will therefor not fully cure if used in a thick enough application to make an IEM. 
 
Other people have attempted to use similar products in the past with less than desirable results.
 
Perhaps piotrus-g can comment on what type of silicone is appropriate for IEM construction? I believe that he uses silicone for his products.

I was planning to make my own CIEM and i know that there are no really dedicated tweeter.... but why is the TWFK sp popular for the treble ? I mean the RAB-32033 goes up to 11,8 kHz amd the TWFK(30017-000) only reaches 6,5 kHz. And also human hear up to 20kHz ( i know that you lose some of the ability to hear really up to the 20 kHz ), what is with the rest of the frequenzies O.o ? Are they not necessary for music ?
Sincerely Mr.Kommander :)

The RAB series drivers are a new product line from Knowles and so far, no one posting to this discussion has had any experience with them. If you decide to try them out, please let us know about your results.
