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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Seal for Vintage Pump Restoration *by K***R on 2 March 2026* Bought this for restoring a vintage pump assembly.
