Hey folks,
save yer money if you want the "real" Hylomar HPF. I bought a couple tubes
of the Universal Blue (at something like $18.00/tube), because I was going
through withdrawals whilst doing my TR3 rebuild. It ain't the same stuff. Seems
to be rather like silicone gasket sealant than the nice, even flowing,
cosmic-blue reusable dressing of the original. Universal Blue is much thicker
and doesn't flow out at all.
Fortunately. I have a very tiny bit of the real stuff left that may get me
through my restoration. I have to hide it when friends stop by!!
If someone does find a source for the real deal- Hylomar HPF- please let
me/us know.....!
Thanks,
Kevin T
Cape Cod, Ma.

Jay,
When I called Permatex about Hylomar HPF availability, they told me
that Hylomar had raised the price again so they dropped it.
I haven't tried their (Permatex) substitute which they claim is "just
as good".
The real Hylomar is still available from a different source.
