"I used this when replacing a water pump on my 2006 Camry and so far so good."
"Upside is that it'll go gradually from the opening towards the back, so you can still use a small amount of it towards the wide end within a week or so if you use scissors to cut it open bit by bit until you find where it's not hardened."
"Great automotive gasket maker and adhesive - I probably use it more as an adhesive than making gaskets - Works either way - I consider it Permatex's Best Product - Never w/o it!"
"This is the best "glue" for plastic parts on a car."
"I use this stuff as a gasket replacement on my scooter and car."
"Used for headlights and it works perfectly, didn't really make a mess because of the screw on funnel that came with it."
"I originally had bought a gasket for a thermostat on my girlfriends car."

"Had hoped to use this to repair vinyl tear in a vinyl door pad, even with proper prep this would not adhere to the vinyl and was peeling up."
"The tube split when I was attempting to apply the adhesive."
"The only gripe I have is that the applicator tip has to be cleaned out every time you use it (I use toothpicks to get it cleaned out), else it will cure and clog, because you can't cap it (no cap for the applicator tip)."
"This silicone adhesive works well as a sealant too and dries fast."
"Had to seal a headlight and this did the jobs."
"Does the job!"
"The tube is huge and the screw on applicator tip has no cover so using it more than once is completely impossible."

I noticed immediately that I couldn't simply rub my fingers together to "roll" the material to get it off, like you can with most glues. Now I had this satanic cement on my hand AND the paper towel had created a horrid mesh of filth that was resistant to every product known to man. I spent a minute yanking and finally got the towel off and saw the sad reality that all that pulling had made ZERO impact on removing any of the gunk. I started yelling for my wife and begged her to google this filth in order to find a solution....you know....since I couldn't use my phone for lack of having a second hand. I went and sat down on the couch dejectedly and turned on Season 5 Episode 4 of Dexter to make me feel better....although it didn't help much. I really needed to go to bed so I hit the shower and tried to wash my body with my brand new plastic hand. Even if the label on the back does say that simple rinsing of water and soap will solve the issue."
"This is a great product, a little bit tricky to use, wear heavy gloves when uses and think twice before your apply because there is no easy way to remove it also when it came in contact with other materials like concrete, wood or paint it can show up on a dark ugly color, as i said before wear gloves and protect the area you don't want to mess up."
"Filled very large holes in the exterior wood of a house ( temporary fix, Guests were on the way and no time to do proper wood work )."
"This stuff works great buy I can't emphasize this enough."
"Before I bought this, my life had huge gaping holes, especially under the patio door sill."
"Gap filler dries SOLID and white."
"The name says it all, it is "Great Stuff" I had a leak between the deck cover at the back of my house in front of the entrance door that nothing seemed to even partially fix."
"In the photo I tossed the snozzle in the bin I was filling for a reference on size versus the snozzle."

"What a pain in the ass this was to use."
"It's not too thick that you won't be able to screw the pieces together, and not too thin that it rips while using."
"Dixon Valve TTB75 PTFE Industrial Sealant Tape, -212 to 500 Degree F Temperature Range, 3.5mil Thick, 520" Length, 3/4" Width, White."
"Having worked as a plumber for some years back in the late 1970's the tape we used was a bit thicker and never once did we cut it. It does the job won't break the bank you MIGHT find Sealant Tape at the 99 Cents Only Store, but I needed it TODAY."
"I should have prob went with a different size tape, because this was a tad too wide, but that's not an issue since you can either have a bit of tape showing, or push the tape down."
"(Not for a very small surface). Maybe everyone else already knew that there is more than one size of plumbers tape, but it was news to me."
"I bought this tape to repair the power cord for my macbook air, and so far it's worked perfectly."
