Permatex 80016 Form-A-Gasket #2 Sealant, 3 Oz

Permatex Form-A-Gasket No. 2 Sealant is a black, viscous paste with a characteristic alcoholic odor. It is a slow drying, flexible setting paste that changes to a pliable, non-hardening film through solvent evaporation. It seals flanges, fittings, connections and flexible assemblies against leakage. It increases the reliability of gasket seals.

Directions For Use:

• Remove all previous material from mating surfaces. Permatex Gasket Remover is recommended for most materials, not for plastics or painted surfaces.
• For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a residue-free solvent, such as Permatex Brake and Parts Cleaner.
• Remove cap, puncture tube or cartridge seal and attach extension nozzle (if provided).
• When used as a gasket dressing, spread product with a spatula to a uniform film on one side of gasket and then position it on the assembly. Coat the second side of gasket and re-assemble. Slower drying formula increases work time.
• Assembly is operational after 4 hours, full cure is affected after 24 hours.

For Cleanup:
