Product Description
Permatex Form-A-Gasket No. 2 Sealant, 3 OZ is a black, viscous, slow-drying gasket-sealant paste supplied in a 3 oz tube for dressing cut gaskets and sealing flanges, threaded connections, hose connections, cover plates, and other semipermanent assemblies. The black, viscous material is applied as a thin, even film and air-dried until tacky before the parts are assembled. Typical operational time is 4 hours, with full cure after 24 hours. The continuous temperature range is -54 to 204 deg C, and the sealant retains effective properties with water, ethylene glycol, gasoline, motor oil, transmission fluid, and sea water.
