RTV + O2 sensor = dead sensor.

Do not suggest using it, if you do. Use it very sparingly.

I expect a decent auto parts store would have
exhaust gasket material in sheets (I have some
lying about and I got it somewhere). An alternative
is to cut some soft aluminum.

You can use many multi- layers of aluminum foil. It will work temporarily.
