Perfect Seal Permanently Closed!

[johnyrude200]

I just found out from my distributor that they no longer are stocking this gasket sealer. I looked up Perfect Seal, and see they are no longer open. Not closed temporarily, but closed all together. This is a substance I use almost daily in my repairs and was the OEM recommendation for many, many repairs.

Anyone have a substitute for this product?

THIS IS NOT GASKET MAKER, THIS IS NOT RTV sealant.

Again…..

Either BRP gasket seal compound or not exactly the same, Permatex #3 Aviation gasket sealer. Existing stock of Perfect Seal is still available – Amazon, Ebay, etc.

I just picked up a can of Perfect Seal from a Merc dealer. He didn’t mention anything about it being unavailable in the future so maybe I should stock up?

BRP gasket sealer is what Im referring to made by the company Perfect Seal. They make it for all the different companies and it just gets relabled.

I bought 10 cans of the stuff today from another source and paid premium instead of my usual dealer rate, but the issue is there is a shelf life from my experience, even when unopened. It turns into clay after some time.
