Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PERMATEX® The Right Stuff
is a single component, room
temperature curing, elastomeric gasketing compound
designed to provide reliable “formed-in-place” gaskets for
mechanical assemblies. The Right Stuff
is a non-slumping,
non-corrosive, low odor, low volatile, single component,
proprietary, hi-tech, elastomeric rubber gasketing material. It
has been designed specifically as a replacement for
conventional cut gaskets where instant sealability is
advantageous. The product resists aging, weathering and
thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or cracking.
Designed for superior bonding properties to oil contaminated
metals as compared to other formed-in-place gaskets, and
maintains outstanding oil resistance. NSF White Book
registered.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For assembly as form-in-place gasket
1. Remove all previous material from mating surfaces.
Permatex Silicone Stripper is recommended for most
materials.
2. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a
residue-free solvent, such as Permatex
Brake and Parts Cleaner.
3. 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
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
is still wet. Secure or tighten to recommended torque
specs.
7. Re-torque will not be necessary after the product has
cured.
Note: Not for use as a head gasket or on parts in contact with
gasoline
Directions 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
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.
Storage of Unused Product
1. Create a “silicone plug” by allowing 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.
2. For PowerBead dispensers, you may store
remaining product using either the above “silicone plug”
method or using the included plastic cap.
