the product i used was permatex the right stuff.
instructions say:
5. Apply a continuous and even bead of The Right Stuff to one surface, first tracing the internal areas of the gasket configuration, then all surrounding bolt holes as shown below:
6. Assemble parts within 5 minutes while The Right Stuff is still wet. Secure or tighten to recommended torque specs.
7. Re-torque will not be necessary after the product has cured.
i did as instructed. i thought they knew what they are telling.
now:
TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE Cure Time The surface of this adhesive becomes dry to touch on exposure to atmospheric moisture within 15 minutes at 23± 2°C, 50 ± 5% RH. The product cures on exposure to moisture in the air and dries tack free in two hours, with full cure in 24 hours.
which i didnt wait that long. well see how long mine lasts.
