So, I have to make a couple big gaskets outside in my driveway, and it's currently cold (mid-30's F). This is actually on my wife's Saturn (timing chain cover and oil pan), but it's a broad automotive question, and it seems like a few of the people on here would have run up against this situation, so I am asking Yotatech.

Is there a gasket maker that works well when applied at barely above freezing? Anyone have experience with this? I've always used Permatex Ultra Black in the past, and I don't see any application temperature range on the tube. I could also buy gaskets and use a gasket maker as a treatment instead. My gut tells me that might be a better solution here.

 

use the right stuff they sell it at napa advance im sure anylocal parts store would carrie it i use it in the winter here in pa as i dont have a heated garage seals perfectly ive used it for intake gaskets on my re before

 

Worst case, bring the timing chain cover and the oil pan inside, apply the FIPG, let it set up, then take them outside to install.
