Permatex #2 is actually a relatively soft material. Permatex #1 is the
hard-drying version.
Personally, I have always used Permatex #2 for most paper gaskets. I also use
a little on the radiator and heater hoses.
It's easy to clean it off your fingers, etc. with denatured alcohol.
That's one advantage it has over any silicone product.
