Doh! I just bought that crap and it was $50 a tube from Pelican. I was told it was super important yet I have no idea what to do with it as it's not mentioned in 101 projects book or anything else I've found yet. I'm ready to change my tubes this weekend (and plugs).
101projects said not to use anything on the plugs, so I guess this is only for the o-rings??? (both of them per tube)

On my other cars, I would just do what I normally do, but the Porsche makes me anal about doing it 100% "right" or as Porsche would require for some reason.
