Steve,
        I think you have the right idea.  EZ builders with air cooled engines use a similar trick for baffles.  See CSA newsletters. Place a piece of fiberglass cloth cut to the shape that you wand on the saran wrap and wet it out with the red silicon.  place the whole thing where you want it to seal the gap.  then remove the saran wrap.

Does anyone have any real good ways to seal around the sides of the
evaporator cores ?  I sealed mine top and bottom with weather stripping, and
tried some of it on the sides, but still have allot of leakage.  The
irregular shape of the sides, ridges and valleys, seems to be the problem.

I was thinking about putting saran wrap on the housing/mount, and putting
100% silicone in to seal them.

Anyone have a better mousetrap ?
