3M 847 Sealant....$30 something dollars a 5 oz, tube...!
What!!
Thank you EPA...apparently it's a hazardous material.....no one in my "one horse" town has it on the shelf......got to order a case of the stuff .....and a case is ..$847.00........
I have one job.....my little 25 hp 1976 Johnson......so I ordered one tube online..........$32.50 +shipping...
They ought to pour a bunch of it in the San Andreas Fault......

Like the Frank's Red Hot Sauce - I put that s&%t on everything. One of the best glues out there. Spendy yes, good yes, brown yes.

McMaster has it for $17 a 5oz tube http://www.mcmaster.com/#3m-847-adhesives/=12pfq36

Why didn't you tell me earlier!

The stuff is still like gold....I wonder why it's so expensive......they seem to have the market cornered.....

 

[dthx]

At an average cost of $25.00 per 5.5 0z tube that's $75.00 per LB.....Uranium (fuel rod stuff) , I think, is only about $35.00 per pound......
But then again....Doritos are still about $4.00 per pound.....so there's that.
Anyway...I've got a tube coming.....
Thanks for the cheaper source.

Around here folks line up to pay $ 18 / gallon for coffee.

A tube will last a long time. It does suck if you only do one motor though. I sell seal kits, so am going to try to put enough in a little tube to do one motor, and sell it with the seal kit. A thought anyways.

That little tube is a good idea....adds value....!
And yes, I know what you mean, Raceone.....Although my town is not big enough to have a Starbucks.....maybe that's a good thing.....
