Some tubes just have bubbles in them, not much you can do about it. Sometimes they are just tiny little pin pricks. Sometimes they are like the size of an m&m and go "pop" and make the bead fall off the end of the nozzle. You can syringe a bit of silicon into these holes while assembling if they are really unsightly.
You _have_ to push out a wide bead in one go, running multiple passes is a recipe for disaster. Cut the nozzle to suit the thickness of your glass.
If you can't find the GE RTV in your area try for Dow Corning V2. It is just as good. I prefer the Dow product for black, it is "blacker".
