I just like the wide stick of deodorant because I can swipe it on pretty quickly and easily, slap the cap back on and toss it back in the holley box. It just acts like a wax to keep the gasket from sticking for a while, and again the excess dissolves with fuel.

Either way there is no worry of clogging any fuel passages with it or any other kind of harm to the engine.
Never used anything to coat the gaskets…. Will def look into doin that moving forward … thx
