Directions for usage

1. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a residue-free solvent, such as Permatex^® Brake & Parts Cleaner.
2. Cut nozzle to desired bead size – gaskets are best formed using a 1/16″ to 1/4″ (2 to 6 mm) bead.
3. Apply a continuous and even bead of silicone to one surface; surround all bolt holes. Assemble parts immediately. Finger tighten bolts until material begins to squeeze out around flange. Allow to dry for one hour then retighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
4. Silicone dries in 1 hour, and fully cures in 24 hours. Allow more time in cold or very dry conditions.
5. Replace cap after use. Clean hands with dry cloth or Permatex^® Fast Orange^® Hand Cleaner. Clean tools with nonflammable cleaning fluid.

NOTE: Not recommended for use on head gaskets or parts in contact with gasoline.
