Are you talking about the same thing people use to seal fuel tanks?

For sealing around the perimeter of the firewall, and firewall penetrations I used proseal. You
can get it in a dispensor and apply it like caulk. The nice thing is that once it has set up a
bit, it has the consistency of putty which makes it easy to work with in areas you can't easy
access with a big dispensor. Supposedly it can withstand temps up to 2000 deg.

It is a similar 2 part sealing compound. It used to be called Proseal 1900, now it is Chem Seal 1900. I got it from Vans, but I'm sure it's available elsewhere. They call it "firewall sealant" ( http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?ident=1156422410-66-762&browse=misc&product=cs1900 ). It's not cheap, and you have to be ready to seal everything up before you mix it because it doesn't keep. But in my opinion it is a better sealant/fire blocker to use on the firewall than RTV. You can buy a special dispensor for it, but it's pretty simple to modify a standard caulk gun to apply the stuff.
