Seal tech head gasket

What do I want to use to seal my seal tech head gasket. I'm guessing I want something different than aluminum paint?? Is there a 3M product that works? |

If you are talking about individual fire rings that seal the combustion chambers then I always install them dry. Then if your setup uses a stock type gasket with the stock fire rings removed then I'd use copper coat or aluminum paint on that. If this is not what you're talking about then disregard my post. |

I am talking about a reusable seal tech head gasket. I will install the fire rings dry but I need to know what to use on the head gasket itself. |

Thanks guys! How hard is it to clean up after? Assuming you spray both sides down good?
Neighbor used a 3M case sealant on his but said it was more challenging to apply and had excess seeping out in many places. |

Pretty easy clean up I just put the gasket in the parts washer brush it off and brake cleaner with a scotch bright pad on the block and head.
And FYI I don't know what your going to run for coolant but I have to run just water, we had problems with the antifreeze seeping. |
