I always have used the yellow VW sealant on the many sets I've done.  It
doesn't dry right away, or actually never completely that I've seen, but it
has worked well on every set+ACE-

Subject: sealing head nuts

+AD4- Today I repaired a head nut that was leaking coolant and instead of using
+AD4- the Fel-Pro bolt sealant that I've used before I decided to use the
official
+AD4- VW sealant (the yellow stuff, looks like French's mustard). The yellow
stuff
+AD4- doesn't seem to be setting up or drying at all--five hours later it's not
+AD4- even tacky+ACE- Does anyone know if this the way this stuff is supposed to
work?
+AD4- Maybe it just hardens when under pressure or something. I'd sure hate to
+AD4- have to do this job over again. Anyone have any experience with this
stuff?
