What is the thick, black, sticky snot like stuff used to hold weather strip in place

What is the thick, black, sticky snot like stuff used to hold weather strip in place. I dont think its the conventional RTV or stuff from a tube and was used to hold parts of the vert weather strip in place. I am trying the RTV but I am not convinced it will work. This stuff is very sticky and instantly holds the WS in place.

3M Super Weatherstrip adhesive? Comes in yellow and black and it's in a tube. Used to use it for gasket adhesive before the days of RTV.

Yea. What shoe said. A lot of people refer to it as elephant snot. The stuff I have used came in cans. Spread it on both parts, let it dry to tacky and assemble. It works good.

I used some of that on a speaker grill to stop vibrations. Works well.
