This product works excellent! I would definitely recommend to anyone working on a vehicle. We use this at my work and all the maintenance personnel look for this brand as their preference. The tube of product and spout work well every tube, never had a bad tube or one I couldn’t dispense nicely.
This is one of few products I've used that produced excellent, long lasting results. I over did it the first time and ended up with a mess. When I used it correctly as directed, I got a perfect, non messy, long lasting seal. Most recently, I used this to seal the connections on my hot tub heater. The stainless steel to PVC connections are neat, leak free and easily handle the heat.
So this is a basic material for making gaskets. Easy to use! First thing is cleaning and drying the area to be used. I did not want anything sticking to the pipe and stopping the gasket material from properly adhering or setting up. Very simple to use, I started by putting a continuous bead of the all purpose blue silicone around the pipe. Immediately while the silicone was still wet I assembled the parts. I did tighten the bolts slightly enough to see silicone seep around the edge and then left it to sit for about an hour. After that hour I came back and tightened the bolts a bit more to where I needed them. I then left this set up to cure for a full 24 hours. The gasket was easy to remove after 24 hours. It formed perfectly and was smooth. This gasket will hold up and will repel oils. This is a must for basic car repairs. I did receive this item in exchange for an honest review!
Great for sealing gaskets and a little goes a long way. Just use a solid small bead all around, apply a bit of pressure and hand tighten bolts if necessary. Wait 24 hours for curing/ drying and you can tighten bolts fully now and clean off any excess. The blue color makes it easy to see as well
Great stuff! Permatex Blue is an all purpose sealant and gasket maker. I have used Permatex Blue to completely seal a couple of vehicles for friends and family. When you want to do the job right this is the stuff to use. Adheres nicely. Highly recommend to keep on hand.
The Permatex Ultra Blue Gasket Maker is a helpful multi-purpose, sensor safe RTV silicone. My husband needed to seal a water pump and this so far has worked great. He followed the directions to clean and dry the area first. Opening the container was simple and the package comes with the direct application pointed nozzle. The blue color is helpful when applying so he could easily see where it was going. He let it fully cure for 24 hours. After 24 hours it all seemed to be working great. He's happy with the fix and hopes it will last for some time. It's probably good to note that this product is not for head gaskets or any parts that could come into contact with gasoline. The temperature is -65 degrees F to 500 degrees F. I would recommend this product for use with any older car to create a good seal between parts. I'm glad they make a product like this for those wanting to do DIY repairs on older autos that could otherwise cost a fortune to get fixed in the shop. Great product with great results.
This Permatex's Ultra Red RTV Gasket Maker meet all the expectations and needs of high temperature repairs and is exactly what I needed. It has low odor as promised and is non-corrosive. It's also resistant to high temperature so it's good when it's hotter climate. It's also non toxic which is a very important aspect. This is a great addition to my small shop.
Actually got this to try to make a gasket for a vacuum cleaner. I traced the exterior shape onto 2 sheets of thin paper and then cut with razor/exacto. Then, spread silicone along outside of one proto and using rubber gloves dampened with water, I smoothed it as best as possible. It has the similar/better consistency to/than silicone caulk. I put the 2nd traced sheet of paper over the silicone and the sandwiched paper in the tube and closed. Allowed to dry for approx 1 1/2 hrs and then cut center of paper for hole. It worked really well. Vac has better suction. It also gave me a great idea for removable, reusable silicone weather strips from for windows in the winter.
This review is for the Permatex Ultra Blue Gasket Maker Multi Purpose. Part 81724 comes in 3.35oz metal tube with screw on top. My husband used this to make a new seal/gasket on extendable pole chainsaw. This worked fabulously. Save money and time so you don't have to order the manufacturer gasket. We have cut with the chainsaw a number of times and this has held up well- no foreseen issues. My husbands favorite part is that you can just screw the cap back on and save the rest for a later time. This gasket maker works for temps -65 through +500F. This is sensor safe RTV silicone and meets OEM specs.
I wanted to try to get something because oftentimes gaskets crack or get lost so it's amazing to have something you can create for yourself. I do want to mention from the get-go that this is a product that you CAN NOT use right away and you have to wait 24 hours before using it with something that has liquid contact so that it can fully cure. I didn't have anything that I needed it for at the moment but I tested it on an air filter to see the shape, texture and how well it works. When I allowed it to dry, I felt the actual bead and it feels strong and semi-flexible (firm). The actual packaging design is helpful as it metal and allows you to squeeze the packaging out and will stay in the shape you leave it in. The packaging is created in a way that the cap contains a sharp point to pierce the tip of the tube. It also comes with a tube connector to apply the bead properly. The tube connector has premolded cutaway pieces to make it easier to determine where to cut off the tubing to make the bead. The warnings on the packaging and the actual tube are helpful as well. I would not use this product without gloves due to irritation and because it can cause cancer. Overall it's a great product and helps you create a gasket in situations where another one isn't available.
