Review on Permatex 82180 Maximum Resistance Silicone by Adam Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product with many non-automotive uses

Permatex 82180 Ultra Black is a versatile material due to its excellent performance. You don't have to think of it as some sort of junk intended solely for garage use. It is odorless, rinses off with acetone, spreads well from the tube, cures quickly, bonds to a variety of normally resistant materials, and cures into a hard but pliable mass. High heat resistance and adhesion to vulcanized material. I use it for gluing rubber feet to oven grates; - Exceptional hardness-flexibility ratio. I've used it as a stiffening rib to fill voids in vibration mounts; - Highly viscous. The Goop sticks to any surface and is easy to work with. I've used a trowel to apply it to crevices in the outdoor pool where it hardens to form a pressure-tight seal between neoprene and/or urethane panels; - leaves no traces/stains when curing. It works great as a custom sized non-slip backing for use with any surface contacting object; - High elasticity. I've used it to permanently repair many, many boots. I've used it to seal outdoor 120v outlets, concealed and exposed. Interestingly, I have yet to find a use for it under the hood of my fleet. Rarely is there a material that comes close to the venerable adhesive tape in terms of versatility. Permatex 82180 Ultra Black is a contender.
