Try it while it is wet and it will make a smeary mess all over things.

Just curious. When you spray copper cote on your gasket what do you do about the overhang of the gasket due to the 5.5 head being physically smaller than a stock head/head gasket? I suppose you could mask it off?

I use the Best Graphtite head gasket without sealant.
