Permatex Closeout Helmets

OEM specified. Noncorrosive gasketing material designed primarily for use on aluminum, iron, and steel flanged mating surfaces. Ideal for on-the-spot and emergency repairs, or when a conventional gasket is unavailable. Fills gaps up to .015″ and cures to a solvent-resistant seal that will not tear or decay during service. Parts disassemble easily even after extended service. Old gasket material can be removed in minutes with a simple putty knife.

Directions:

TO MAKE A GASKET:

• 1. Clean both flange surfaces. Remove paint, dirt, grease or old gasket completely.
• 2. Spray Permatex® Surface Prep™ activator on one surface only. Allow to dry 1-2 minutes.
• 3. Apply a continuous bead of sealant to the unprimed surface.
• 4. Assemble mating surfaces with minimal lateral movement. Excess sealant can be wiped awaywith a cloth and shop solvent.
