Gasket Cement

[Nelson]

Hey all-

Did some searching and I'm not sure I'm finding what I'm looking for. I was cleaning out my Princess recently and noticed that the bypass gasket was loose in a few spots. Is that something that should be "cemented" in place? If so, what is a recommend cement to use in this spot?

Thanks
Andy

Yes, there is a cement for this. It's not normal RTV though, your dealer will have some. Odd that yours popped loose, they usually harden up and into their channel. Have your gasket retainers melted away or cracked out?

Thanks Highbeam - honestly, the channel was bare metal and I don't see much on the gasket itself so maybe this was a spot that was missed? I honestly had never looked very hard at it when vacuuming that area out each year - just happened to notice that it looked loose. It's the side toward that back where it's loose - I'd say about 3" in length is loose - everything else seems secure.

Is there a gasket cement folks are using that I can get online? I don't know if my dealer is still around in my immediate area.
