I like Copper Coat. In the late 70's I had to remove a Model A head to do a valve job, and some fool used shellac on the head gasket. I used a puller on the head, and had the whole front of the car in the air, and the head wasn't budging. I also had to use a hammer and thin blade to keep working around the head gasket. It took hours just to get the head off.
