Types of Gasket Sealant You Use

[1Byounkin]

I've used many types of gasket sealant. Do anyone know if there is a such thing as gasket sealant in a caulking tube?

Your choice, take your pick! Haven't ever seen cartridge tubes.

NAPA has several types.

I pretty much only use "right stuff" which is from permatex. They have it in a cheese wiz type can and a small caulk gun type cartridge.

Its the only stuff I use anymore.

I've been putting together Kohler engines which don't use oil pan gaskets. So you use gasket sealant.

Thanks for the replys. I like using the small tubes that came in the head gasket kits for the explorer. Bigger the tube, more can dry out if you forget about the top.

Wish this stuff was available when I installed my Moser 8.8 cover.
Used the nitrile gasket and a very thin coat of Permatex Ultra Blue,
on all contact surfaces. Sealing has been perfect so far, bone dry.
