In a previous post someone asked about a replacement for Merc Perfect Seal. <br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=24;t=011158 <br /><br />You replied:<br />'Also in the auto trade it is called Perfect Seal #4 and it is the same as the Johnson/Evinrude "Gasket Sealing Compound". Aviation Permatex is completely different.' <br /><br />I called Bombardier (OMC) a couple of months ago asking the same question about OMC Gasket Sealing Compound (which I assume is the same as the Johnson/Evinrude GSC). <br /><br />Bombrdier told me that Perfect Seal #4 was the same thing as the OMC Gasket Sealing Compound. BUT I can't find any reference to Perfect Seal #4 on the Permatex web site. Several auto parts stores told me they had no reference to that particular product. And I called Permatex and they couldn't find a reference to Perfect Seal #4 either. <br /><br />Did the name/ number change on this product, cause I looked pretty hard for it and couldn't find any clue that it's even made anymore. Does (did) it come in a can or tube? <br /><br />I had heard that the Aviation Sealing compound was an appropriate substitute, and it seems to have the same properties as the OMC stuff (non-hardening, gasket sealer instead of gasket maker, presumably thinner than the ones that come in tubes since it comes in that small can with the applicator brush). I did see some other number Perfect Seal products (maybe #1 & #2?) but they came in tubes rather than the can.<br /><br />I'm still confused, can you help clarify this for me?<br /><br />Thanks!
