Negative.
I have purchased it in 12 pack cans to save money.
(it is relatively expensive)
Since it goes a long way, I still have a few left.
Will try it next time.

Hey Jim:
    Threebond makes a lot of products, is this the one?  From their site:

"ThreeBond 1521 is an all-round adhesive whose main component is chloroprene
synthetic rubber. It is widely used not only for soft materials such as
rubber and leather, but also for hard materials such as metals."

Regards.
Randy

Aiiieee....no! The 1521 is a contact cement.look for 1104 or 1211. 
The 1104 is used on a lot of OEM assemblies from Japan to seal 
crankcase halves.

I'd go with the 1104 if there aren't any large gaps. And I'd probably 
not use any of the silicone based stuff. Knowing just how much of 
the stuff extruded into the interior is always a worry and if any of it is 
going to fall into the oil supply with deleterious effect. The 1104 is 
pretty darn thin and is danged tough stuff. By no means the only 
solution, just one among many tho.
