just Wondering What Would Work Best To Seal The Pipe Thread Fittings On My Exhaust Manifolds. The manifolds Have A Threaded Fitting and i Need To Put a Pipe Plug Into It. wanna Make Sure It Seals.. Thanks
Agreed. We call the stuff "rectum seal" in my business.Rector Seal is what I use. you can buy this at the plumbing shop. Or Real non hardening quality pipe dope, there are different brands.
Not a good choice - it's silicone. RTV red is a gasket maker, sets up and becomes hard. While it probably would seal, it would be a mess. Products like Permatex High Temp Thread Sealant, Rector Seal, etc not only seal, they lubricate so you can removed the bolt/nut later. Using a product like RTV would create a mess.Would Red High Temp Rtv work?
Kain't stink of anything Mopar that you are working on.......? But most of my car had headers.just Wondering What Would Work Best To Seal The Pipe Thread Fittings On My Exhaust Manifolds. The manifolds Have A Threaded Fitting and i Need To Put a Pipe Plug Into It. wanna Make Sure It Seals.. Thanks
Don't know why but rectum seal came to mind when I read the OP's post. Probably heard the term before somewhere....Old Timers is really kicking in these days.Agreed. We call the stuff "rectum seal" in my business.
Give the plug a few "rounds" with Teflon tape, then apply the Rector Seal on top of that. Install the plug while the stuff is still wet, then wipe off excess once in place. Done deal, won't leak ever - and bonus, you'll be able to remove the plug in the future if need be.
Man I hated getting that stuff off my hands. We went to blue monster and it’s much easier to clean up!Agreed. We call the stuff "rectum seal" in my business.

Nope never had fun with that lolDid you ever use Keytite? It was green and as far as I could tell totally insoluble, I 'd get it on my clothes and had to wear them out before I didn't have to look at it. Ah the good old days!

There's trade-offs to any product. The key is not to get it on your hands to begin with.Man I hated getting that stuff off my hands. We went to blue monster and it’s much easier to clean up!
