Thanks for the tips and other responses on this topic.
One relevant late-breaking detail is a response I got from a Hylomar-USA
rep, who said that Harbor Freight is supposed to begin carrying it in a
few weeks. Also, some NAPA or other FLAPS may carry Permatex 85249,
which is Hylomar Racing Formula (35 ml) on a permatex blister card.
