Don't know what you're "glueing". I've had success with Ultra gray or black. But generally I let gaskets do their job and use sealer in places like the ends of the intake on a SBC.

I've had good success with Valco Products. I've used their "Tube-Grip" for over 20 years and it sure makes things easier!

+1 on Valco. Their Aluminized silicone sealer is a great product.

The last Permatex black silicone I used was j-u-n-k. :(

Locktite 5900. You'll not ever use anything else after you try this. It even sticks thru oil. Yes, I seriously sticks and seals even if there is oil on the surfaces.

I highly recommend this:

5oz caulk tube is plenty for 1 engine.
