NET 803A hot air station : handle problem

I have an air leakage on the handle, with which glue or silicone it is good to seal air leakage?

Is the air leak in a part of the handle that gets hot? If so, high temperature silicone or high temperature RTV glue should do the trick. If the leak is on a plastic part, and the part is made of ABS or PC plastic, you can use PVC glue (as PVC glue dissolves ABS and most PC plastics, making a very strong bond.)

Kao što je Momaka napisao crveni silikon za automehaničare koji podnosi velike temperature.Ja sam skoro kupovao veliko pakovanje 10 Eura.

I got a black silicon that goes up to 320°C . (seal good)
I gave up the glue.
So i can disassemble handle if i had to change the heater.

Yep, that should do, I think. Same goes for the red automotive silicone that yz7myg suggested. Let us know how it goes.
