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.

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.
