Guess it was getting late. Will the seal hold or will there be a reaction causing a leak?

Don't know. Never tried it. Probably just defeated the intended seal.

Re: Used aviation sealant on shiny gasket

My manual called for sealer on head gaskets. They weren't shiny like the plate gasket. The only way I realized it was that I ordered two by mistake and looked at the other while cleaning up.
