I've read of gasketless exhausts in the comics where people have uses silicone throughout, and apparently it lasts fairly well.

Blue Hylomar is good its non hardening and will allow the join to be dismantled easily. Red Hermetite is semi-hardening, probably best for something that is under pressure and you don't need to dismantle often, it's a S*%T to remove from alloy mating surfaces Loctite 5926 is a silicone flange sealant probably best suitable for your need. or for this job just grease would work ok.
-The message from Dave contains these words:
Nah - "figgered" is when you sit down with a cup of tea and a packet of fig rolls to have a good long think about something.
Figgered is when you spend hours on the loo after eating a whole packet of dried ones.
Apricotted is even better. Never mind Sennapods...
Yes, it's been around a long time. Used by Rolls Royce. It never sets hard.

Thanks for the kind offer, but I am too far away, and I already have some silicone gasket compound.

Thanks. That might even be the best option, since it would be less likely to block up the 1/8" water channels that pass throught the gasket... I ended up using gasket compound, and am now worried that some of it might have squeezed out and blocked those water channels.

May I interest you in this two pound piece of sultana and date flapjack?

Oops you didn't mention that.

Oops again.....
I did, actually. See original post.

So you did ! In which case I recommend using Wellseal, it's a Non hardening liquid, but is stickier then grease let it soak into the gasket before assembly.

Thanks for the tip. Perhps next time; I have already done the job with Golden Hermatite for now; probably not ideal, but hopefully satisfactory. I dare say it will render the gasket unusable next time I separate it.
