Permatex 80016 Form-A-Gasket No. 2 Sealant 3oz (Slow Drying)

Permatex Form-A-Gasket No. 2 Sealant is a black, viscous
paste with a characteristic alcoholic odor. It is a slow drying,
flexible setting paste that changes to a pliable, non-hardening
film through solvent evaporation. It seals flanges, fittings,
connections and flexible assemblies against leakage. It
increases the reliability of gasket seals.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

1. Remove all previous material from mating surfaces.
   Permatex Gasket Remover is recommended for most
   materials, not for plastics or painted surfaces.
2. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a
   residue-free solvent, such as Permatex Brake and
   Parts Cleaner.
3. Remove cap, puncture tube or cartridge seal and attach
   extension nozzle (if provided).
4. When used as a gasket dressing, spread product with a
   spatula to a uniform film on one side of gasket and then
   position it on the assembly. Coat the second side of
   gasket and re-assemble. Slower drying formula
   increases work time.
5. Assembly is operational after 4 hours, full cure is
   affected after 24 hours.

For Cleanup
