Gasket sealant

<< < (3/3)

K2-K6:
Sounds like a good plan Rob, be interesting to see how you get on.

I used to use tryc******* whatever the stuff was called to degrease the surfaces which seemed sucessful but don't know if you are allowed stuff like that now. Surgical spirit seems just as good as a cleaner though to give the gasket glue a fair chance of sticking to both surfaces.

I think it will work well.

UKROBK7:
I used to use 1,1,1 Trichloroethane  as well (how about that, I can still remember it after 15 years and spell it.  Sad or what!) until the company went all environmental with water base cleaning.  I have a tin of cellulose thinners that I use now but its not as good as the old "tryc"

That's the stuff, good memory.

Mine was er-hem sponsored by HM Gov and we used to slosh the stuff all over the place so I've probably absorbed enough for a lifetime now anyway.

LesterPiglet:
As a young foolish yoof I absorbed it on purpose.  ::)

Bryanj:
Airosol brake cleaner still has trike in it
