How about it guys,, What is your favorite mating surface goop?
I know most people don't even use or believe in a gasket sealer,,but I see alot of leaky gaskets on motorbikes and scooters.This stuff is not like a rubber/silicone sealer,,its like a shellac,,I have been using it on motorcycle engine base,head,valve cover,and crankcase gasket mating surfaces for years and have NO LEAKS!!!They say its good up to 350 degrees but ive seen it work in way hotter environment's than that with no problems at all.Its a little messy so a little goes a long way,,and it will wipe off with some lacquer thinner,carb cleaner,goof off,or MEK. Just wanted to share my experience with the product.
Good stuff!!

Indian Head Shellac has been around for years and is usually used on disposible gaskets that you scrape off and toss after one use. On rubber or metal gaskets that get reused a non-permanent RTF or non-hardening Permatex compound is usually the better choice.

On rubber or metal gaskets that get reused a non-permanent RTF or non-hardening Permatex compound is usually the better choice. I agree, I use this on paper type non-reusable gaskets. For metal head and manifold gaskets I use the high temp copper type sealer. I have used the indian head type many times and have never had a problem with it. For a rubber type gasket I use rtf silicon sealant and not gasket maker. If I put parts together that I don't have a gasket for I will use a silicon gasket maker. I also use the appropriate kind, some are not suitable for fuel, ect. Roy
