Having recently purchased some Hylomar for an engine overhaul, I can assure you that Aero in Granite City Il. has both the medium and heavy varieties of Hylomar in stock as we speak. Cannot comment on its virtues as a substitue for EZ Turn though. I'd give em a call and see what their professional opinion is.abuura said:I am told Hylomar HPF is no longer available............
Haven't used "Hylomar Blue," but if you're using it on fuel fittings or fuel cap gaskets or the like, and it's indeed blue, that might not be the best choice. If I saw blue streaks and didn't know if it was sealant or actually fuel, that could be a pain.mlw450802 said:Can anyone offer an experienced opinion of the equivalency of Hylomar Blue sealant and EZTurn?
It is indeed blue and you have an excellent point.dan said:Haven't used "Hylomar Blue," but if you're using it on fuel fittings or fuel cap gaskets or the like, and it's indeed blue, that might not be the best choice.

I like that EZ Turn is colorless. In the event I have a leak, I'll see it easily!
It's good for sealing small air leaks in the engine baffles, and at the baffle to engine interface.cnpeters said:....
Has anyone had mush use for Permatex Red Silicone RTV? Label says for high temp application.
Thanks

Do a google search on hylomar and there are lots of hits and many active online sources.
I just recently purchased a tube of hylomar blue within the last month or so.

http://www.hylomar.com/universal_blue_2.shtmlWhat is Permatex Hylomar HPF?
Hylomar Ltd in the past has sold a solvent-free version of Universal Blue to Permatex in bulk, which they have repackaged as Permatex Hylomar HPF with our approval. This started at a point when Loctite (the former parent company of Permatex) was Hylomar?s US distributor. Since then Loctite was acquired by Henkel, which sold Permatex in a MBO, which was then acquired by ITW, and Hylomar has set up its own US distribution company. Some Permatex HPF may still be available in retail locations, but it is unclear how long stocks will last?.
EZ-Turn is available from Spruce (get the tube, not the can).cnpeters said:Can EZ-Turn be found in your usual HD/Lowes stores, or do folks order it from ACS, etc?? Has anyone had mush use for Permatex Red Silicone RTV? Label says for high temp application.
