Yeah 518 is fine, but I found it dearer than 515, and no better for this job.. :lol:

515 & 518 is excellent stuff as mentioned already. But an absolute ning nong to clean/remove from surfaces. Have recently used gasket remover spray and found that quite good in removing it.

I also like (and had good results) with Three Bond grey.

Got a 50ml tube of 518 today for $24 from Ripco. No 515 in stock and claimed they are both the same but 518 more versatile whatever that may mean

Those of you using the 515....are you meaning instead of gaskets, or to seal the gasket?

Generally, to seal the gasket.
However, as I said I have built gearboxes boxes with NO diff sidecover gaskets, this avoids having to add a pile of shims because the current gaskets are about 3x thicker than originals were.

515 and 518 are both made for metal to metal joints. Also used to seal outboard motor crankcase halves.
