I went in asking for Gask-a-cinch and the oldtimer at my favorite flaps told me this is the stuff to have: a tube of 3M Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive. Any experience with this stuff? What do you fellas use? I use Gasgacinch (note the spelling). Been using it for nearly 40 years. Car Quest sells it. Yes, even in California. When applied to clean surfaces and allowed to tack up before the parts are put together, it works great. 3M weatherstrip adhesive is waaaaaay overkill, and is a PITA to remove and clean up when you have to replace the gaskets. Yet another case of a clueless counterperson selling you what he has, not what you want or need. The Cap'n |

Gasgacinch for me. Started using it when I split dirtbike cases. Used it ever since. Napa always has it.

Anyone who has ever seen an engine fail only because one tiny dot of blue or orange RTV clogged the oil passage on the #1 main bearing will never use that product again on one of these engines.
RTV- Death in a tube. |
