has anyone used hylomar with no ill results?

 

i use the factory mazda goop there 8527-77-739, but any silicon works there, theres no pressure

 

hylomar is non hardening, so that's why i was concerned...



i saw BDC doing it so i figured it was o-k

 

hylomar is prolly fine (ive never used it at all), in fact as long as theres something there it will prolly be ok

 

i use hardening permatex

 

No wonder my ears were burning!



Yes, Hylomar works quite well for that job. It's a gasket dressing; it's designed for that type of application.
