Retaining Compounds

When press fits start walking or slip fits fret, retaining compound locks it down and seals out corrosion. We stock fast-cure 609 equivalents for bearings, bushings pins and sleeves, step up to 640 style for worn or out-of-tolerance fits and high-temp 668 for oil and fluid exposure. Go with a gasketing kit to seal and retain in one grab.
