Default ac CLUTCH CYCLING TEMPERATURE SWITCH replacement

I need to replace my ac CLUTCH CYCLING TEMPERATURE SWITCH and there is some black "goo" around it. What is this stuff and where can I get some?

Thanks

Mine is Everco #A9535

edit- Google crosses it to Four Seasons 59010 and Murray 209491

You should be able to go to auto parts place and get them to sell you what you need off the roll.

I picked mine up at a local auto AC shop. I literally just walked in and said "I need the goo to wrap the temperature switch to the evaporator" and they knew what I was talking about. Was 5 bucks for 5 feet of it.

Oh, and a piece of advice. Get some ice water and dunk the end of the new switch you buy first. I had to adjust my brand new one to work properly.

There will be a piece of foil tape on the back, remove it and there is a screw. Tighten the screw to have the switch kick off at a lower temperature, loosen it for a higher temperature. You'll hear an audible click when it reaches temperature.
