Just found out there is a JB Weld Ultimate Grey sealant that is said
to be good at high temps. This is probably a better choice than the
black. when I discovered it, the black was all I saw - and it works.
I suspect the grey would increase your confidence. I'll probably
buy a tube of grey for good luck and use it next time I do one of
these 'Continental' sight glass rehabs.
Remember, on all surfaces to be sealed, cleanliness counts!
Good Luck,
Wayne
