Loctite 518 Gasket Sealant 6 mL Tube, Red (2096062) (Packaging may Vary)

Always use on my header flanges and any v band connection that sees lots of heat

I bought this on a whim from watching it being used on a repair channel on YouTube. I generally like adding a little bit of gasket material when Im using a standard gasket. While its not for all types of gaskets, I definitely feel it helps and will last me a long time. Ill be again be using it for is to assist the gasket I replace.

Used this on a stihl chainsaw to seal the cylinder to the crankcase. Worked flawlessly.

Used this stuff for years. Only dries when its compressed between 2 surfaces. Forms very thin seal in minutes. Resistant to gas and oil. Would put it on toast if it were edible!

This is usually an excellent product, this particular tube was however much thicker than usual, and impractical for use. I would guess possibly too old, or a bad batch?

All gaskets, by design, are mechanical seals which have limits; temperature, pressure, and time. Loctite is a second line of defense in cases of material defects. Loctite is on every gasket I install.

It’s an anaerobic gasket former from loctite; as you can expect, it’s a great product!

You get what you pay for!

if you have a race car you will need this stuff

In my opinion this is the best gasket maker you can use. Because it’s anabolic it does not set up till the part is put togeather.
