| Subject: | Re: Gasket Shellac??? |
Tom, I used Loctite Aviation Gasket Sealant, available at auto parts stores, and
silk thread when I rebuilt my Continental A-65. No leaks after 2 years and 80
hours. Just a very thin coat does it. It was a translucent coat - I could see
metal through it.

for eliminating leaks at the crankcase flange split, as well as anywhere
else a sealant can be used. Impervious to gas, oil, steam, etc., and remains flexible
forever. (Silicone based)
