Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Permatex 59214 High Temperature Thread Sealant - 6ml Tube, Pack of 1 - White: Efficient Solution for Airtight Sealing by Tim Surridge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good old reliable 592

There are several similar thread pastes available from Loctite/Permatex (parent company of Henkel). These are 565, 567 and this 592. They all work very well with different cure times and bond strengths. 592 is the easiest to find. A comparison of 592 with "regular" thread compound with PTFE (Teflon or equivalent) shows that this material performs much better. This material contains a "hardening" ingredient that takes time to fully harden, which is not found in most carving pastes. Until cured, the fitting can be moved for perfect positioning without destroying the thread seal. After curing (about 4 hours for this product) the thread is completely sealed until you remove the fitting or plug. Removal is fairly easy as it acts as a thread lubricant/prevents galling. A wonderful material used by major manufacturers such as GM to seal threaded pipe connections on automobiles.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Drill kit
