Not quite sure what adhesive, silicone, permatex etc. etc.to use on a freeze plug instalation. Years ago we used weather strip I believe and had good results. Today it seems like there is a lot more choices. Anyway a little advise needed here. Thanks there Bolters.........

I like to use brush-on Permatex Super 300. The cup type freeze plugs with the wide sealing lip don't really need a sealer at all. The flat ones that seal by hitting the center with a hammer to expand them after being placed in the groove in the block are the ones that can benefit from a little non-hardening sealer.
