Potting RTV for PCBs

I am looking for some cost effective RTV silicone that can be used as a potting compound for protecting electionic circuits from dirt and moisture. The existing choices are either too hard when set, too viscous before flowing or too expensive if they are right. I want something that is.

1. Flow-able before setting. So that it can reach everywhere on PCB
2. Rubbery when set. So that it can be removed if a component needs to be changed.
3. Should not be too expensive.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

https://www.humiseal.com/ is a company that makes conformal coating material which works better than RTV because it is specially designed for protecting PC cards from the environment. Other companies make similar products.

RTV silicons are always costly,
there are some polyurethene potting compounds which have a low cost and are workable.
