So today I was putting the valve cover and gasket on my Farmall C project tractor, and I found myself considering whether to put the cork gasket on dry, or with Shellac, or #2 Form-A-Gasket, or even RTV. This debate has actually happened in my family. In my mind, I heard dad saying, Use Shellac! I asked why not use RTV? Then Grandpa chimes in, all we had was shellac, and it always worked for me. So, grandpa won, and I went up to auto parts, and asked for a bottle of shellac. They had it, but the other customer in the store looked puzzled when I asked for shellac. Had to explain it to him. We lost Grandpa a year ago, he was 82. With him went lots of knowledge on how to fix equipment. I tried to soak up as much as I could, but miss being able to ask him a question. Anybody else find themselves remembering their Father or Grandfather's advice? -Andy
