[TR] to use gasket sealer or not

[FGFO1 at aol.com]

Always use gasket sealer. I have found Hylomar to be the best by far. I have 
even used it without a gasket in an emergency.
I had an occasion in 1987 to have some screws coated in Hylomar. I still have 
a bunch of them sitting in a parts bin open to the air. the Hylomar is still 
soft and sticky all these years later. Breaking open a joint and reusing is 
easy. I just cant say enough about it.
Silicone however has never served me well. The slightest bit of oil missed 
out of cleaning will give you heartache.
