Hey everyone, I don't know about you but the Permatex 80646 is getting hard to find. Seems like most places are replacing it with the foam version (Permatex 80645.) I was able to find some at NAPA Auto Parts, but they changed the part number to a "Napa part number" same stuff as the Permatex 80646, just different name. Napa Part Number: 765-1230. Hope this saves someone else some time. Works great BTW.
Some may leave The Jedi Order; but few leave it alone.
Thanks for the info, Tahm. I've been wondering what to do when I run out of the Permatex 80646.
Here's link for it:

Also AirCraft Stripper works good.. (comes in spray can).. spray it on (heavily).. let it sit or a few hours.. come back..whole PC comes off as 1 piece/gel like cover.
to re-cap:
Permatex Gasket Claner/removers
Jasco Paint Stripper
Aircraft Stripper
However.. (as this is what the big guns told me to use).. this can be re-used over and over..
and the Eastwood one actually 'disolves' the PC..

Removing powder coating with damaging anodization?
I got some stray powder coating on some anodized pieces. Does any know if gasket remover will damage the anodization?
I'll test it on a scrap piece, but if anyone knows the answer off the top of his/her head, I'd be grateful for a response.
EDIT: Nevermind! I just tested it and it worked fine.

Excellent tip, Matt! I want to use a fluted piece in mine but wanted silver flutes with a black exterior. This will take care of that nicely. I would guess that I should tape over the areas I don't want the powder coat removed from?

The gasket remover will seep under the masking tape and you won't get a clean line. That's a tricky situation. If you are using MHS parts, it would be best to have Tim do that for you. He powder coats the un-fluted piece first, then machines the flutes.
If you already have a powder-coated fluted piece, and want to remove the powder coating from just the flutes, I would recommend dipping a cotton swab in some gasket remover, and very carefully dabbing it on the places you want removed, one small area at a time. Once the remover is applied, the powder coating should start bubbling up within five minutes, probably as little as one or two minutes. Then use a clean cotton swab to remove the loose coating. (You need to do this before the dissolved powder coating dries again.) Just patiently repeat this process until you've removed all the PC from the flutes.

Cool, thanks again Matt. I'll ask for the coating before machining to the notes when I get to buying those parts. I think it'll be easier than clean up later.
