## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this good for a small outboard gearcase as a supplement to the seals ?**
A: If it is being used to enhance the performance of gaskets, yes. You can also apply it around the outer metal edge of a seal before driving it into a casting. It should not be applied to the rubber part of a seal that contacts a rotating/moving part.

**Q: I want to use this on freeze plugs, but do you apply wet, or let the product dry before setting freeze plugs in place.**
A: Put the product on wet, drive the plug in immediately after, smear excess around circumference of installed plug. Done.

**Q: Can you use this on transmission pan gaskets?**
A: I don't see why not, but this hardens like a glue so on a paper or composition gasket you will have to tear it apart for next removal, leaving material on both sides that will have to be scraped off. Not fun! I use this on one side of a gasket, usually the machined/flat side and a non-hardening sealer on the other side, so when you take it apart, the gasket won't tear apart, and can be reused, with a fresh coating of non-hardening sealer. That is the plan anyway. It doesn't always work. My usual choice for non-hardening sealer is Aviation gasket sealer, such as Permatex #80017 or similar. It is rated up to 400 degrees F. I also use it like Anti-Size on bolts, Not Exhaust, to keep them from rusting. Keeps out the water.

**Q: Can I use this on a cylinder head gasket ?**
A: back in the older years this was the go to stuff for head gasket sealers, but now a days most head gasket makers like felpro have the sealant already on the gaskets ( like printo seal or permatorque style gaskets) so you do not need any sealer just install and torque
