Unpopular opinion: I was wrong about using the generic torque seal on engine mounts
For years I used the cheap stuff from the general supply catalog, figuring torque seal is torque seal. Then a guy at the hangar in Fresno showed me the difference after a year of vibration on a King Air. The generic stuff just flakes off, but the proper aviation-grade compound from a brand like Jet-Lube stays put and stays bright. Anyone else have a specific brand they swear by for this?

Oh, the generic stuff is basically just expensive orange chalk (learned that the hard way too). I once had a whole line of it just vanish, like it got embarrassed and quit. The good stuff costs more, but you only cry once, when you buy the tube.
