Remove all old gasket material, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Ensure the metal surfaces are free from rust or dirt for optimal adhesion. — Prepare the Surface 2. Apply a continuous bead of Permatex Form-A-Gasket #2 Sealant to one surface. For cut gaskets, dress both sides. Ensure an even layer, avoiding excessive application that could squeeze out excessively. — Apply the Sealant 3. Assemble the parts immediately after applying the sealant. Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer's specified torque. Allow the sealant to remain pliable for easy disassembly later. — Assemble and Tighten ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Cure Type | Slow-drying, Non-hardening | | Temperature Range | -65°F to 400°F (-54°C to 204°C) | | Fluid Resistance | Gasoline, Oil, Grease, Common Shop Fluids | | California Proposition 65 | Contains Methyl Isobutyl Ketone, Lead | | Suggested Applications | Valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, dressing cut gaskets, sealing stamped parts | | Application Frequency | As needed for gasket sealing and dressing | | Shelf Life After Opening | 12 months (typical for sealants) | | Cost per use | 1.5 oz tube at 0.1 oz/application = ~15 applications: {{ccc_price_per_unit:15:application}} | | Contraindications | Not for permanent gasket sealing; not for high-pressure fuel systems. | | Allergens / Common Irritants | Contains Methyl Isobutyl Ketone, Lead (per Prop 65) | | Brand | Permatex | | Model Name | Form-A-Gasket #2 | | Part Number | 80015 | | Color | Black | | Item Form | Liquid | | Material | Plastic (Tube) | | Size | 1.5 Fl Oz.

Purchase from crowcrowcrow.com to ensure you receive an original, factory-sealed Permatex Form-A-Gasket #2 Sealant, sourced from authorized US retailers. All customs duties and GST are included in the listed price, and your order is shipped via ExpressBox with tracking for delivery across India. ### Is this Permatex sealant safe for engine sensors? Permatex Form-A-Gasket #2 Sealant is a non-hardening type and not specifically designated as sensor-safe. While it resists common automotive fluids, it's best to use sensor-safe RTV silicones near oxygen sensors and electronic components to avoid potential corrosion during curing. This product is primarily for dressing gaskets. ### How long does this sealant take to cure? Permatex Form-A-Gasket #2 Sealant is slow-drying and non-hardening, meaning it remains pliable and does not fully cure to a rigid state. This characteristic allows for easy disassembly of parts. It is designed to seal gaskets rather than form a permanent bond. ### What is the temperature range for this gasket sealant? This sealant operates effectively in a wide temperature range, from -65°F to 400°F (-54°C to 204°C). This makes it suitable for various automotive applications in India, including engine bays that experience significant heat fluctuations. ### Can I use this sealant for oil pan gaskets? Yes, Permatex Form-A-Gasket #2 Sealant is suggested for applications like oil pan gaskets and valve cover gaskets. Its ability to resist oil and provide a reliable seal on flexible and stamped parts makes it a suitable choice for these engine components. ### What are the side effects of using this sealant? The primary side effect is that it does not fully cure to a hard state, which is by design for easy disassembly. However, it contains chemicals like Methyl Isobutyl Ketone and Lead, which are listed under California Proposition 65. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and avoid skin contact. ### What is the best sealant for automotive use in India? The 'best' sealant depends on the specific application. For dressing cut gaskets and ensuring easy disassembly, Permatex Form-A-Gasket #2 Sealant is excellent. For permanent gasket formation or high-pressure systems, a sensor-safe RTV silicone might be preferred. Always check the product's resistance and temperature ratings for your Indian vehicle's needs. ### Can I use this sealant daily? This sealant is not intended for daily application like a cosmetic product. It is used during automotive maintenance to seal gaskets. Its slow-drying, non-hardening nature means it remains pliable, and it is applied as needed during repairs, not on a daily basis. ## Compliance No product-specific compliance warnings identified.
