can i use this to make a head gasket for a chainsaw? not sure if it is the right material

Not sure if it will work on a area that is subject to heat, it worked just fine on a head gasket on a finish gun. Do you have any of the old existing gasket left see if it has any metal or flame resisiance material in it. Sorry

I'm sure that would work, but it isn't necessary; and I think the friction on the outside nut helps keep it tight. The gasket and flush side go on the inside and the nut and hose/pipe side go outside to tighten the gasket. Of course, you can also have threads inside the flush(gasket) side if necessary.

As a seasoned wrench turner, I've always found it's best to not use anything additional to valve cover gaskets. If the valve cover is not warped and truly flat all the way around, a good quality gasket is all you'll ever need. Don't over torque the bolts.

I would NOT recommend using this product for what you are suggesting. Product is very thick, like Vaseline petroleum jelly. I use it around rubber O rings and gaskets with hot tub and swimming pool equipment. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I returned mine. They were not what I wanted when I received them. However, most gaskets are rubber, not cardboard. You can double check at a Lowe's, they have units that you can take apart to see if it's what you really want.

Definitely not. This product worked for 15 minutes on a head gasket leak then caused serious engine damage. Look at some of the other products on the market. If the water is dripping down from the "weep hole" in the water pump the seal on the water pump shaft is damaged, don't think anything will work. Take a look a some of the products on Amazon, possibly Bars Leak, maybe.

Depends on the specific application. Nitrile/Buna-N is a very common o-ring material for mechanical/automotive applications but not universally appropriate. The Amazon listing indicates it's likely to be incompatible with brake fluid. I'd figure out what you are specifically going to be using them for and do a web search or two to check compatibility.

Depending on how big the hole is yes it should work just fine. Personally I would use JB Weld for plastic for that.

I use regular chainsaw oil, any good oil to keep the chain lubricated should be fine.

I disagree on the high-temperature comment. I use this for valve cover gaskets on a large (1200cc) air cooled motorcycle engine. The material is thick enough and soft enough that it pretty well stops oil seep, even though I'm using full synthetic light weight oil. Unlike some other materials (cork, for instance), I don't worry about bits breaking off and getting into the engine.The wrapper that comes with it says it's for sealing oil, water, or gasoline.I especially like it because with aluminum, there's a lot less torque for clamping down, and the soft thick material compensates for irregularities pretty well.

If you are looking to seal the gasket then this product will help you do that. If you are looking to "glue" the two pieces together with this product, then this product will not help you. This product is a sealant not a type of glue.

Did you find a good product for gaskets? I am looking for the same, and it must be a food-safe material.

Hi, probably not. There are no gaskets to prevent that. You could put an absorbent cloth underneath the saw though, there's room. Hope this helps.

I really don't know. This is a graphite paste that I use to keep engine and other threaded bolts from seizing.

I have used it to seal the cover gasket on an old Cadillac differential. No problems.

Yes just be sure the area is very clean and degreased. I am using it for my intake gasket and also for steam engine gaskets.

Have not tried rubber gasket, went to anchor hocking website and bought replacement lids because they rust almost immediately if you use as a pickling jar. The discription says lids are aluminum, this is a inaccurate statement the lids are steel and rust.
