Actually it's not that hard to get--for me at least. I buy it at
my local AutoZone. It's Permatex #25249. Good stuff.

BTW, Permatex has a pretty informative website at:

   www.loctite.com/

Hylomar info is at:

   www.loctite.com/catalog/product.html?ProductLine=3DAAMHYLMR

Ultra Grey is listed at the site as "designed for high torque
applications (predominantly Japanese designs) requiring a
unique RTV gasket." Odd.
