FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this gasket can withstand?
The Connect Black Hi-Temp Instant Gasket can withstand temperatures up to 180°C (356°F).
Is this product safe to use around oxygen sensors?
Yes, this gasket sealant is sensor-safe, meaning it will not damage oxygen sensors or other sensitive electronic components.
How long does it take for the gasket to cure?
Curing time can vary based on temperature and humidity, but it typically skins over in a short time and develops strength rapidly. Full cure for high-pressure applications may require longer.
Can I use this on plastics as well as metal?
Yes, this sealant is compatible with most automotive materials, including metal, plastic, and rubber.
How should I store the product?
Store the sealant in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the nozzle is clean after use to prevent clogging.
What is the pack size?
The product comes in a 200ml pack size.
Does this product replace all types of traditional gaskets?
It is designed to replace many conventional solid gaskets and can form reliable seals where a solid gasket might be difficult to fit or prone to failure due to heat and vibration.
Troubleshooting
Sealant not adhering properly
Ensure surfaces were thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Remove all traces of oil, grease, or old sealant. Reapply after proper surface preparation.
Sealant is too soft after extended curing time
Check ambient temperature and humidity; curing is slower in cold or humid conditions. Ensure the product has not passed its expiry date. Verify that the bead thickness was not excessive.
Difficulty extruding sealant from the tube
Ensure the nozzle is properly cut and that there are no blockages. Warm the tube slightly in warm water if it's been stored in a cold environment.
Leak appears after initial use
This may indicate insufficient surface preparation or inadequate application. Remove the component, clean thoroughly, and reapply the sealant, ensuring full coverage and proper torque on fasteners.
