Re: Freeze Plug Leak

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree.

Permatex also makes another product - The Right Stuff.

It comes in black and gray.

This is the "Last Resort" sealant for me.  It can be almost impossible
to get parts apart but it will seal where almost nothing else will.  I
get it in the short caulking tubes, I don't have much luck with the
pressurized cans.
