Hylomar??/permatex??
what can you use besides hylomar? can prematex 2 be used instead?
i know hylomar stays tacky, can seal tiny gaps and can withstand temps up to 600 degrees. no one has it around i would have to order it. i called up a shop yesterday and they said they would have some for me today.. i called up the shop and they said the warehouse doesnt stock the hylomar anhymore but use prematex 2 instead now. |
Depends on what you are sealing. Hylomar is usually available at most Napa Auto parts.
Part # is 765-2682. |
using it for coolant rings and so on..but thanks for the part number this could be alot of help. i called 5 stores here in sonoma coun ty none had it. ! ok i just called napa auto parts. and the neartest tube of this stuff is in texas!?!? i am in CA what does mazda use as a factory sealent?
|
does hylomar contain - "meth dichloride" carrier solvent which is phased out most countries worldwide.? someone said they dont make this stuff anymore? this sucks why cant i just go downtown and get a tube i mean geez
|
NO ONE HAS HYLOMAR- i guess that's why mazda trix / racing beat sells it. Napa Auto Parts no longer buys it
|
I got a couple tubes from my local CarQuest. They had it at the local wharehouse, took a couple hours to get it to me.
|
i called car quest. they said they only carry permatex. he didnt know if it was permatex "#2". or the permatex "HPF" i called one shop around town one guy says he has more than a half of a tube left and i could have it. maybe this will get me going till i get another.
|
I looked at my unopened tube today and its made by Permatex and says Hylomar on the tube, they(Carquest) should be able to get it for you. I can get the #'s off of it for you if you want.

What you got was old stock. Permatex was producing Hylomar under license. They quit making it a while back. Valco is now the importer of Hylomar. Check with them for distributors. FWIW, after using the stuff Permatex was making and then going to the newer stuff I can say there is a definate difference between the two. The new stuff is better in many regards IMO. I use it for a lot more than retaining o-rings.
You can use several different things to retain o-rings if that's all you're doing and don't want to try to hunt down Hylomar. A search will turn up things like vasoline and regular silicone. |

Crisco it's more than just for cooking. LOL. Seriously nothing beats it for holding things in place I use it for holding the coolant seals in place also works great for holding all the hard seals in place on the rotors. And I love the smell of it on start up. Smells like your cooking up some french fries. And if you think I'm bullshitting watch this video http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.c...ty_water_seals I'm not the only one who uses this stuff.

if i can use crisco (lard?) to hold my water seals and my rotor parts cant i just use vasoline (patroluem jelly) for my water seals as well? Hylomar makes a seal unlike all olf these other products how usefull is this?
