Thermostat housing question 200

I'm about to replace my thermostat to try and conquer a high temp reading I've been experienceing. I notice there's a blue sealant (RTV of some kind?) around the base of the housing where it contacts the engine. Since I want to have all the necessary stuff on hand when I do this, can someone tell me what it is I should use when replacing the housing? The instructions in the valve package don't mention anything about sealants or gaskets--it just says to replace the housing. Thanks.
