Hmmm, I have Permatex silver and Kent "Rusty" copper. The Kent container
states it is for brakes and I "assumed" that meant it was a high temp
formula. Of course the container of Permatex silver I have is nearly 20 yrs
old (and finally nearly gone) and I can no longer read anything on the
bottle.
It would appear I have been wrong all these years...thanks for the
correction.
Still wonder why they would use a lower temp product for brakes?
