I stopped in at O'Reilly's the other day to pick up some of the Super 300 gasket sealant. They didn't have any in stock but the fellow there (known him years) said he'd get it delivered to the store for me. But while we were talking he looked online and said "oops...well, we show we only have 2 of those left in Texas...one in Lubbock and one in Lufkin. A note from HQ says we've been told that part number can't be ordered and it has been replaced by 80019 Aviation Form-A-Gasket Number 3. But it costs $1 less and we have that in stock." He added as a side comment their gasket/sealing line was changing quickly with most of the stuff now being RTV junk.

I found some on Amazon and eBay. Bought it on Amazon...sold by a third party seller (slow delivery). A card included with the product said the seller specializes in discontinued and obsolete parts. Was a bit less than $12 shipped to me and based on this I'll buy another while some is still out there.

Just a heads-up for those who prefer this formula. Also it appears VersaChem (also owned by ITW) has been combined with Permatex. They have their own line of non-hardening paste sealers. Not bad stuff but not like the old Permatex form-a-gasket at all.
