permatex ULTRA BLACK hi-temp rtv silicone gasket maker worked when i swapped tb's. I think it's the same thing.

 

Most people consider Permatex Ultra Grey to be the Hondabond equivalent, but I always prefer to use the Ultra Copper (mainly because of it's slightly higher temperature range, but also because it's marketed by Permatex as a "higher-grade" sealant).

 

If use both and I think there about the same. Hondabond is a little bit thicker.

 

Permatex Ultra Grey

 

The Permatex Ultra Grey is still too gooey for me. I stick with Hondabond HT.

That's what I've been using. So far so good.

 

hondabond for the important stuff and permatex grey for the not so important stuff

 

The Permatex ultra copper is all I use. Creates a perfect seal every time. Just apply, let dry until rubbery and put parts back together. Never failed once.

 

the ultra grey is cheaper and works just as well as hondabond, plus it doesnt dry out in the tube nearly as fast.

 

in my experience, Hondabond takes the checkered flag over Permatex when it comes to gasket makers. Hondabond had better seals and stick-to-it-iveness.

Permatex did a middling job on both fronts. When I need to get the job done right, Hondabond is still king of the garage.
