How to Remove Permatex Blue
Permatex Blue, a silicone gasket maker/sealant, cures quickly and resists aging. The sealant also resists weathering and thermal cycling which can lead to leaks and air entering automotive transmission pans, value covers, engine components, industrial equipment and machinery parts. Permatex Blue is available at automotive, home improvement, retail superstores and online outlets. It's safe to use on oxygen sensors. Like other sealants, Permatex Blue is removable from hard surfaces and tools as well as your hands.
