It's always been 'the blue gasket goo' to me

RTV stands for "room tempature vulcanizing"

So that's the real name...

MIKE: glad to see u back on, guess we are all busy trying to getstuff done before the weather goes to pot again around our area, i swung by one day to take a look at that dk40 of yours , but did not see anyone around. and rtv ranks right up there as one of my favorite stuff, but then reading the rest of the replys i find i like all kinds of stuff. TRI-FLOW is great. wire ties. cordless drill, and the list goes on. guess my favorite is what does the job at the particular time./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Weather strip adhesive is very handy also. $0.94 cheapo spray paint is very useful too.

I don't think it has been mentioned yet but now that I have had my tractor for a while "Locktite" is rapidly moving up my list.

I can't believe none of you guys shares my love for JB WELD. You can fix anything but a broken heart with it.

Ok TBone:

I'll second the motion on using J. B. Weld. I'll also have to add "Liquid Eletrical Tape", wonderful stuff. Goes on liquid sets up harder than silicone and provides a total seal when dry.

Re: What\'s your favorite stuff?

Re: What\'s your favorite stuff?

It is a type of epoxy. It gets hard enough to drill, tap; very durable stuff. heh, Welcome to the dark side Frank.

Reminds me of somthing I forgot to list:
construction adhesive!

Re: What\'s your favorite stuff?

I've never heard of PB blaster, but I just saw an ad for it at my local hardware. IT'S ON SALE!! I'm gonna get some. TBN'ers never lead me astray !

GSS · Aug 2, 2002

Re: What\'s your favorite stuff?

Oh yea? How much? ; )

Just use it on any stubborn rusty @$$ bolt. A good practice is to soak the really bad ones the day before you'll need to get it off. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Re: What\'s your favorite stuff?

$2.99 for a 12 ounce spray can.

As I have never seen it before, I don't know if this is a bargain. But, I can afford $2.99.

GSS · Aug 2, 2002

Re: What\'s your favorite stuff?

Not bad. It's normally like $3.50+...

TBone · Aug 2, 2002

Re: What\'s your favorite stuff?

Like Scott said, it's a two part epoxy. Mix equal parts of the black and white tubes and you get a grey mixture that sets up hard. I have used it for all sorts of things around the house but am skeptical of some of the claims of using it on engine blocks and other critical applications.

The regular JB Weld takes a few hours to set up but they also make some that sets up in minutes. I've never tried it but I intend to next time I see some in a store.
