What temperatures will this withstand once cured? I would like to use it on certain items in the engine bay (not on the engine)

I a not sure but I used it as a clear coat on a helmet and it hasn't chipped a bit even after 2+ years with lots of riding in 100+ temperatures,rain and snow.

It can withstand temperatures ranging from -65 to +450 degrees F, A appliance Repair Co. of Michigan

I Would not spray it on exhaust or anything that heats up. It's basiclly a semi soft robbery coating.

Used it to repair small cracks on the vinyl portion (sides) of a leather car seat about 1 month ago. Holding up well in spite of frigid temps. We used 3M "blue" masking tape to hold the larger cracks together while the sealant set, then pealed off carefully.

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.

Incidental contact with gasoline will not be a problem. As for heat, well how hot is hot? I'm sure you could melt it/burn it with Propane or MAPP gas, if you're thinking of using on engine parts things other than exhaust manifolds should be fine. As always proper surface prep is key.

It is fine at 400-425 degrees. I seasoned it once at 500 Degrees and the little yellow plug scorched a little and popped out after removing. So far the coating on the handle has held up fine though.

It has a 1000 degree heat resistance and I am sure it would work, but I would just buy engine paint.

I did mine in the spring (60-70°) and let it cure/dry for almost 2 days in my garage. It rained a few days later and it turned into a light white slime. I do not recommend. But give it a try. Oh and yes on new paint

This product is good to 500 degrees. I would use a product with a higher temperature rating for an exhaust. Also, at least with silver, it should be clear-coated with the matching clear-coat product. You would not want to use a two-stage paint on an exhaust.

yes this product will indeed withstand heat. We had used it on a part on our car (the high pressure hose) and it was fixed right away. To this day, we have no problem with hose. We gave this to our mechanic and he uses it all the time in some of the repairs that he needs to do and even says that it is awesome

I have never used this glue at high temperatures. You may want to call the company.

POR 15 Glisten in my experience with the product is as heat resistant as most other automotive grade paints. In other words, it is not affected by heat up to and including engine bay temperatures. I use in on gun barrels and receivers and it is not affected by the heat of firing cartridges. It is pretty much imperivous to gasoline, as toluene or xyelene is required as a thinning agent. I agree with the first answer in that prep of surface is paramount. Area to be painted needs to be sanded and clean and wiped down with degreaser immediately prior to application. Hope this helps?

Thaw it out use it. I think it would be ruined if left at room temperature for any length of time. It should be fine

If the engine goes into Regeneration it will burn them off. It can get up to 1400° and can even blow fire out of the exhaust. I am +25 yr GM mechanic.

I repaired a wet washer fluid reservoir, and refilled the tank five minutes after the bond set, it has not leaked since. I believe it would cure and withstand relatively well. Also, the key portion of an ignition key/key fob combo broke off for my Ram. I glued the key insert back into the FOB and have used it to start the truck numerous times every day, so it withstands torque very well.

I use mine on the oil pan on my race car. It doesn't have a thermostate. Therefore it may get to warm for a battery. Depending on the weather.
