Permatex 82180 Ultra Black RTV Silicone Gasket Maker

genuine permatex

Works great

We bought these for use on our shop. Unfortunately a large number of these were either fully hard or only had a small amount that was usable.

i oreded 12 got 1 tube been waiting on the other 11 or do i need to return the one

This is one of the finest sealant products of this type, made in USA. There are similar Euro products that may perform better in certain situations. The main problem with these 12-packs is freshness. Unroll the end crimp to view the manufacturing info. My last shipment had THREE tubes that appeared fine but were getting hard inside the tube, making the glue virtually useless. Figure that into your overall economics. IF YOUR GLUE IS FRESH, it flows and applies easily on flat surfaces AND into crevices that you may need to bridge. Dries pretty fast, based on the humidity method used by many single-part adhesives. Low fumes.

I am a mechanic and have purchased this item and many other similar types of permatex silicone tubes. The caps on each and every one of these items have invariably split before most the contents could be consumed leading to premature solidification of the remainder of the product. THIS LEADS ME TO STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT PERMATEX IS INTENTIONALLY DESIGNING THEIR CAPS TO FAIL IN ORDER TO BOOST PROFITS BY FORCING THEIR CUSTOMERS (YOU) TO REPEATEDLY BUY YET ANOTHER TUBE OF THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. This “design flaw” surely has lead to millions in additional profits for Permatex.If you have fell victim of the Permatex faulty Caps I urge you to:1. Keep all faulty caps (even if you have tried to repair it)2. Keep your receipt of purchase3. Submit a complaint to your State’s Attorney General (google; [your state] attorney general)4.

This is a great sealant. Usually $7 each around town. This box price makes it less that $4 each
