Devin's headlight recipe

JGoose said:
I tried Googling "standard kitchen silicone gasket maker" but it only came up with a several pages of companies in China looking for agents for their stuff, so I figured I would ask here!

Would that be like a Permatex or Loctite sealant?

Also in the recipe, I noticed that there appears to be a chip out of the headlight assembly in the post separation cooling picture. Was that there to begin with, or was the plastic a bit brittle there?

Thanks!

It's stuff I bought at O'reillys. It was a black color and I believe the manuf. was permatex. There were several different options and they probably all would work.

Yup, I snapped that bit of plastic off in the separation process. That was the first housing, and I was more concerned with just getting the housing apart than I was with doing it nicely, a luxury that I had because it was a junkyard housing that I had purchased just for that use. As it turned out I ended up using that housing anyway and patched up that chip with a bit of the above mentioned silicone. There was still plenty of overlap between the two halves and it isn't visible, so I am not bothered by it.
 
Oh, by the way I used the term "kitchen silicone gasket maker" but you can delete the "kitchen" part. I was trying to be funny and keep to the cooking idiom. It's just silicone gasket maker.
 
400 Degrees is for 15 minutes it way to long and to hot luckly it was a spare housing i would say 200 degrees for about 5 to 7 minutes shuld do it let you know tonight i am going to try again not a spare

Did you see the part about having the oven turned off?
 
In my experience, 400 degrees for 15 minutes was really just barely enough to get the housing to the proper state, hence the chip on the first attempt when I pried at it.

I am sorry for taking so long to respond to this, I sort of took some time off because of a 3rd heart attack.

If not for this, I'd be a tombstone...NOT exaggerating.
 
My problem is a little more complication than something that chelation can fix. My cholesterol and general artery condition is excellent, it's just that I keep building up scar tissue in/around my right coronary artery. The blockages I have been getting are unusual. They are trying a different tack this time around.
 
i did miss the part about turning the oven off lol my bad. i put them in the oven a 285 for about 15 minutes or so checking it until it was just right they came apart perfect. good right up.
