Most Liked Positive Review
Never change a crucial gasket without it
Excellent for getting a sure seal on head and intake gaskets. I've used it for years.
Most Liked Negative Review
Used to be good. Not any more!
The shellac is great. The applicator is horrible! "Fuzzies" come off constantly and string along in the compound. It is impossible to apply a thin coat! They must use the cheapest applicator they can find. It is not worth the trouble!

This was my first time using this. It worked better than I could have imagined
Best product hands down!
This is the best for high temperature head gaskets and anything you need to make seal for a very long time. You can't use it on exhaust gaskets but any other metal to gasket back to metal, this stuff works great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Great Product
Staff Reviewer -
