Thanks to everyone who replied to my request regarding jointing compounds.
After weighing all the suggestions and searching the internet on costs of
these options, I have decided to get some Permatex Gasket Dressing and
sealant. The ads compare it to Hylomar Universal Blue. The deciding factor
was the size of the packaging and the resultant price. I don't need a huge
supply that will go bad after opening and sitting on the shelf for years.
Cheers,
Joe

Agree, I used Hylomar on several OD rebuilds and never lost a drop at that
joint anyway. Squishy blue stuff that never hardens.

Hylomar is often used where there are no gaskets.

I am undertaking the refurbishment of a D-Type overdrive unit and I see that
there is no gasket between the brake ring and the halves of the case
assembly. The Haynes manual specifies using "jointing compound" on the
mating surfaces. What is the recommended stuff that is available today for
this purpose?
Thanks,
