hi, does this hurt seals, plastic parts, rubber parts at all? In other words are there any disadvantages to using it?

I used this last summer and have not seen any ill effects at all. I believe this works by modifying the friction properties of the fluid rather than by softening the seals.

I have used it for only a few hours on hard wood and gotten excellent results and have had no trouble to date. I am careful to take only small cuts each time as I don't like to overburden any tools. It sounds to me like a rubber burning odor is caused by belt slippage when trying to take more aggressive cuts. Bob Heller

my diving goes back to before silicone mask skirts so no direct experiance BUT i do know silicone grease (and oils) WILL degrade silicone rubber. also likely to fog the glass.i might decide not to risk my mask or my life.luck

I have never had that problem. I always make sure that the rough part is on the bottom when I seal. I don't know if it matters but you might try it.

The J-B Marine Weld sets up a bit on the soft side. I think it would be worth giving it a try as the cost is very low. I have used it to seal an oil leak successfully. Follow the instructions and let the product set-up before putting it into use.

It might be worth trying, though I am unaware of it helps cracked seals, mine were only dried out & softened with this product. A less expensive option if it works for you, compared to just replacing the entire seal.

Sorry, never used it for that. I use it for all interior plastic/vinyl, and just started trying it out on the tires. I bet you can get it cheaper at WalMart though....

Hi Stuart. I would say, yes. I can't imagine any reaction being caused by the lube. I bought it to use on the plastic guides of the cable-lacing system of my Red Wing boots. So, it acts as a buffer between hard plastic and soft plastic cable coating. It's a great product. No more sqeeky boots. I hope that was helpful. Best wishes. Steve.

I added about 1/2 bottle to my Eldorado tranny and it seems much smoother and quieter. It also stopped a small seal leak. Only used 1/2 because it is fairly thick My opinion is there is nothing in it that would hurt.

Vaseline will break down the plastic in this device. We recommend a water based lubricant. If you would like some suggestions please contact us directly so we can assist you further

It stings at first-doesn't hurt. When you rinse, use a lot of cool water. It's worth a little sting.

I primarily use this on Triumph motorcycle cases and it is the best Permatex (or any) product for the job. I've also used it on rubber pipes to metal banjos and it worked well there too. I suspect that it would work well in your situation but I have not used it on plastic and there are so many kinds of plastic that I would test it first. Personally, on threads where gas or oil is involved, I use the yellow Teflon tape -- it seals gasoline so diesel should be no problem.

I am not sure. I personally do not see the harm, but I am not a mechanic. sorry I could not be much of a help.

If you don't use it on the rubber o-ring, the o-ring will not seat properly, resulting it a leak. I know this because I didn't use it and had a leak that was resolved by using the grease.

If the leak is due to a bad gasket, this should work if carefully applied. I have used it on plastic and rubber with no problems. If the leak is due to a crack in the manifold, I can't be sure. But it's worth a shot since a tube of this stuff is cheaper and easier than buying and installing a new manifold.

I would not purchase this particular machine. it does not create a good seal and it's cheap because it doesn't do as advertised and in my 40years of office work, I know what the end product should look like. I'll give you mine.
