How long to let this stuff dry between coats. And mostly how long can the parts sit after coating before assembly

? ? ? -
It was years ago but i remember using 3 coats, letting it dry completely before adding the next coat which would take 30 minutes or so.
Apparently it could be used up to a day later but we would put the gasket it place, bolt it down and then torque to spec the next day.
A foggy recall on my part.

Wait, it's a gasket sealer, AND a belt dressing ? ! ?'83 GS 1100T

Isn't that the one that put an engine together, removed all the bolts and ran it flat out at Bonneville or someplace to prove how well it holds parts together?Comment

I put every base & head gasket on with 2 coats on all surfaces, head, block, upper case half base gasket surface & both sides of each gasket. About 15-20 minutes between coats to dry. Makes it fun to get apart after its done correctly! I have NEVER had one leak when done this way.

Ray, I can believe they never leak, but are you being sarcastic, or facetious, or honest about taking them apart? I would have thought they wouldn't ever come apart again.Originally posted by rapidray View PostComment

Hylomar...Hylomar.....Hylomar......
Specifically Hylomar Blue:
It seals fantastically, and even years later, you can simply slide a thumbnail under the gasket and it peels right off the mating surface. For those who balk at the price, unless you build engines for a living, a 3 oz tube will last for years. It is enough to do dozens of valve cover-sized gaskets.
Indy Car race teams use it (Racing Formula). Military jet engine mechanics use it (Blue). Either works just fine on 35 year old motorcycle engines.GS450E GS650E GS700ES GS1000E GS1000G GS1100G GS1100E

Wot 'e sed ^^^^
Been using it for years and never had a Hylomar joint fail.
As always, restraint is the key, but compared to RTV it's difficult to put far too much Hylomar on a joint.
I'm a fan of RTV too, but learned early on how much was enough. Unfortunately, many others never did...---- Dave

I have used Hylomar & had leaks that were FIXED by using Gasgacinch the way I previously described.
