Oh OH OH! Do I know. :)

It's an anerobic (cures in the absence of air) selant/real thin gasket
maker. I need it to seal up my charger and the mounting flanges.

518 is similar as I have found is a NAPA Permatex http://tinyurl.com/yta2v

Don't use RTV! They arn't the same thing.

Also remember that 515 needs several hours (8 higly recomended) to cure
before any pressure/vac is applied.

You would think so, but actually it won't. The package is designed to
let air in. The product cures when exposed to metal surfaces and in the
absence of oxygen. loctite's website has some technical stuff.
