Permatex 81160 Hi-Temp Red Form-A-Gasket Silicone Sealant - Powerful 3 oz. All-Purpose Solution Review

Must be a really old product, it was almost impossible to squeeze. The end of the tube eventually opened up and made a huge mess.

I used it to assemble the crankcase of a Stihl chainsaw after replacing some of the plastic parts of the saw construction. The saw still starts and works just as well as it did after a year.

It can make pretty good gaskets and gaskets. It takes 24 hours to set up, so you need to take that into account. Fairly sticky but seems quite resistant to high pressure and heat.

I used this product to modify my smoker during assembly. It worked great. I highly recommend it. The red color doesn't really matter. If you're worried about showing, grab a piece of fabric before you start. This product works well! Smoke does not escape through the areas I have sealed with this product.

So far, so good! The biggest problem I had was using it to seal the place where the firebox meets the smokebox. But don't worry, it doesn't affect the passing heat in any way. Once solidified, it doesn't smell like plastic at all. Just remember to give it all the time it needs to cure and create a strong seal. Also, use it sparingly to keep your seals looking clean.

The product works great, especially after reading the instructions. I was crunchy and was only able to leave the glue on for about 16 hours and I regret it: the glue didn't stick well and came off a bit (I was sticking to the plastic). When I left it longer I had no problems. I recommend leaving it on for at least 24 hours, ideally 48 hours.
