Has anyone got any idea on how this stuff compares in hardness to o-rings of say... 70 durometer?
I don't know anything about durometers so don't know how to compare them to the data in the tech data sheets on the Permatex website.
Thanks,

Right stuff is pretty soft - likely closer to 30 than 70. For 70 you will want urethane more likely than silicone

I checked the data sheets and it looks like all the urethanes that they (Permatex) have a temperature limit of 180 degrees. I need something that will handle something closer to 275. Realistically, it shouldn't ever get over 230, but you never know...

I just went through the durometer thing. Not having a clue what the numbers ment.

for foam. select Mil-spec.
There is a chart that shows all of the durometer scales & firmness rating.
Hope this helps.
Excellent~! Yes, it does indeed help. Thank you.
Now... just have to figure out *which* durometer scale they're using for Buna-N O-rings...

Shore-A it looks like.
shore -d
?!?!?!?
No offense, but I find it kind of hard to believe a Buna-N O-ring that I can pinch pretty well between my nails is rated almost as hard as a construction hard-hat.
... or am I missing/not understanding something...?
