Hylomar Sealant

[redo75]

Anyone used this Hylomar Blue sealant on exhaust headers with or without gaskets, and other head gaskets surfaces
Never dries, non-hardening, so not like other gupps, Parts can removed and be reassembled.
Developed for R/R gas turbine jet engines used at 44k ft in the sky, so must be good.
Friend recommended this stuff for a engine refresh project.
Unable to see his build yet due to our fearless leader in Ottawa.
So just asking, I am keeping a open mind.

I've used it before on a water pump and intake manifold installation.
Excellent stuff!

Easier to work with and not thick like silicone for jobs like that.
Unlimited assembly time.
I think I still have about 3 tubes of Hylomar universal blue at home.

If it's good enough to seal jet engines it has to be good.

How did you apply it, with a brush, to get a smooth thin layer?

[LX89]

I applied it with my finger and that gives a nice uniform even coat.
I think Hylomar contains some type of solvent that evaporates to make applying it easy out of the tube.

[redo75]

It's mixed with acetone.
Thanks for your reply.

[LX89]

Buy it and try it.
I was more than impressed when I used it.

[redo75]

Where did you buy it, comes in different versions and colours now for different applications?
D&D Engineering distributes it so going to ask them for recommendation for best one to use.
I need the best one for pushrod engine use on 400 series hi-ways and evading the radar beams. LOL.

I bought it at a industrial supply store in my area that's no longer in business.

OK, thanks
