WHY ENTHUSIASTS LIKE IT

Cars that see track days or spirited driving benefit from Hondabond’s high-temperature range and solid sealing properties. Plus, it’s not uncommon to see it used on a variety of Honda chassis codes—like EF, EG, EK, DC2, and beyond—thanks to its easy application and trusted results. While other brands like Permatex exist (hondabond permatex is a common comparison), many of us stick with Hondabond for the peace of mind it offers on our beloved Hondas. 

HOW TO APPLY HONDABOND

Wondering how to apply Hondabond properly? It’s pretty straightforward:

1. Clean and prep the surface by removing all oil, dirt, and moisture.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of Hondabond (using a brush or putty knife) to the part needing sealing.
3. Wait about one minute, then join your surfaces together. How long to let Hondabond dry before full assembly depends on your comfort level—most people tighten bolts within a few minutes of application.
4. Always expel air from the tube before closing it up to prevent it from curing inside the container.

If you’re curious how to use Hondabond on an oil pan, the process is the same: a thin bead around the mating surface is typically all you need, but make sure the surfaces are squeaky clean. This approach helps prevent leaks and ensures your Hondabond oil pan gasket stays sealed during high engine stress.

DRYING & CURING TIMES

A common question is how long does Hondabond take to dry and how long does Hondabond take to cure? The surface will begin to set within about 60 minutes, but for a full cure—where it becomes fully rubberized and seals thoroughly—expect around 15-16 hours. If you’re after the absolute best seal, give it around 3 days for complete curing. Hondabond temperature range is also impressive, so it’ll handle day-to-day commutes or track days with ease.

REMOVING HONDABOND

How to remove Hondabond can be a bit tricky if you’re not prepared, but these tips help:

• Nail gel removal fluid or a dedicated gasket remover can soften the old residue.
• Soaking or wiping with petrol, acetone, MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), or methylated spirits can also help.
• Use a white plastic scourer to gently rub off the remnants without scratching the metal.

Just remember, do not apply onto copper or copper alloys in a confined area, as chemical reactions may occur.
