Permatex® 80016 Form-A-Gasket® #2 Sealant, 3 Oz
Description
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:
- Remove all previous material from mating surfaces. Permatex® Gasket Remover is recommended for most materials, not for plastics or painted surfaces.
- For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a residue-free solvent, such as Permatex® Brake and Parts Cleaner.
- Remove cap, puncture tube or cartridge seal and attach extension nozzle (if provided).
- 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.
- Assembly is operational after 4 hours, full cure is affected after 24 hours.
For Cleanup:
- The product can be removed from metal surfaces with isopropyl alcohol. If the sealant has been dried for a long time or at high temperatures, cover the sealant with alcohol and allow to soften overnight.
- Clean hands with Permatex® brand hand cleaners.
