The 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive (black, not yellow) seems to work better for 
its intended purpose of slapping rubber parts onto metal.  It stays tough and 
flexible instead of hard like the yellow stuff. 

But I have no idea how it works for making valve cover gaskets.  Maybe that's 
why 3M still makes the yellow stuff?  Naw ...
