Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PERMATEX The Right Stuff Grey is a single component,
room temperature curing, elastomeric gasketing compound
designed to provide reliable “formed-in-place” gaskets for
mechanical assemblies. The Right Stuff Grey has been
specifically designed to perform under higher torque loads of
engines with high bolt densities, typically import vehicles. This
product has a high blowout resistance, allowing leakproof
gaskets to be made and placed into service immediately after
reassembly. Permatex Right Stuff Grey is sensor safe and
seals instantly forming reliable, long lasting elastomeric rubber
gaskets that outperform precut gaskets. OEM specified by
Nissan, Honda, Mazda and Kia.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For assembly as form-in-place gasket
1. Remove all previous material from mating surfaces.
Permatex Gasket Remover is recommended for most
materials (not for plastics or painted surfaces).
2. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a
residue-free solvent, such as Permatex Brake and
Parts Cleaner.

Cut nozzle to desired bead size, 1/16“to 1/4“in diameter.
An 1/8” bead is usually sufficient for most applications.
4. Remove cap, puncture tube or cartridge seal and attach
extension nozzle.
5. Apply a continuous and even bead of The Right Stuff™
Grey to one surface, first tracing the internal areas of the
gasket configuration, then all surrounding bolt holes as
shown below:
6. Assemble parts within 5 minutes while The Right Stuff™
Grey is still wet. Secure or tighten to recommended
torque specs.
7. Re-torque will not be necessary after the product has
cured.
For PowerBead
1. Clean and dry all flange surfaces to be sealed.
2. Remove black cap from top of extension nozzle.
3. Turn nozzle extension one complete turn (360)
counterclockwise.
4. Depress finger trigger and apply a continuous 1/16 inch
to 1/8-inch PowerBead to one surface.
5. Assemble parts within 5 minutes while The Right Stuff
Grey is still wet. Secure or tighten to recommended
torque specs.
6. Parts or vehicle may be placed back into service
immediately.
7. Re-torque will not be necessary after the product has
cured.
8. To close, turn extension nozzle clockwise until tight
(about one full turn). Wipe off excess material from
nozzle and replace black cap.
For Cleanup
1. Allow excess material to extend beyond the extension
nozzle or aerosol tip to cure, sealing and protecting the
remaining product from moisture. For reuse, simply
remove the cured product from the tip.

Remove uncured product from parts and hand-tools with
a dry cloth, if skinned over, break film with a dry cloth to
remove as much as possible, and remove the remaining
material with Permatex Gasket Remover as previously
stated.
3. Clean hands with a dry cloth or Permatex Fast Orange hand cleaner.
