Everyone knows the internal struggle when repairing their car and buying supplies that are available at widely different price points. Do I go with the expensive RTV or the old standby that I’ve always used? Does the manufacturer really know something that the store brand doesn’t? And what about all the different offerings from the same manufacturer? Is Right Stuff better than Ultra Grey?

What should I choose for my projects!?!?

RTV Brands Tested: Permatex Ultra Grey, AC Delco, Hondabond, John Deere, Toyota, AISIN, Permatex Right Stuff, Yamalube, MOPAR, Loctite, Pro Seal, Versachem, JB Weld. Does it matter how you apply the gasket maker? Should you wait 10 minutes to allow the RTV to skin over? Let’s find out! Gasket makers also compared for adhesive and cohesive performance on plastic and metal, maximum pressure using a metal clamshell assembly, effectiveness at curing under ideal conditions and chemical resistance. I purchased all the RTV gasket makers and the supplies used for the testing to ensure fair and unbiased reviews.
