BRP 508235 Gasket Sealant

[bob-d]

Having a tough time finding our tried and true BRP 508235 gasket sealant. Possibly discontinued?
A few online sites have mentioned that it is now be replaced by a non generic version from Loctite part number 1525607.
Has any tried the Loctite, and is it indeed the same stuff?

I haven’t used the Loctite brand sealer but I have used the Permatex Aviation Sealer in a pinch and don’t really like it much. The BRP sealer is hard to find now so I’ve switched over to the easier to find Mercury/Quicksilver Perfect Seal which is similar to the BRP stuff.

Jim,
The Merc stuff sounds good. Will try a can of their Perfect Seal.
I have always liked Mercury chemicals since 1970 when I bought my Mercury 135HP inline six that is in my avatar. I swear by their Storage Seal to layup my motors for the long upstate NY winters.

I agree on the Perfect Seal

Yeah, I tried the permatex equivalent to the OMC gasket sealer, seems like a watered down version of their “form a gasket” sealer. I will look for the Merc sealer in the future..

I’ve used permatex aviation for years rebuilding air cooled vw engines. Never had any issues. I have the replacement loctite sealant which I will use now.

Will the perfect seal work on a exhaust housing gasket for the 7.5 omc or is the 3m scotch weld 847 ok to use Thanks Russ…

I just ordered some of the Locktite stuff but haven’t tried it yet. Mercury Perfect seal is hard to find, though Amazon has it for $37 for a 16oz can – liquid gold!

Don’t bother, with the Amazon seller. I just ordered it and when the picture came of what was shipped it turned out to be Permatex Aviation Form a Gasket. Don’t know what’s going on with all of the different sealers not being available?

Quicksilver Perfect Seal is available at your local Merc dealer.
