What is Yamaha ''Quick Gasket"

[frankd]

I'm in the process of rebuilding the water pump off of my 89, and when I removed the old coolant seal, I could see that it had some kind of blue sealant applied to the outside OD of the seal. I looked it up in the manual, and it said to use "Quick Gasket" around the seal. What is Quick Seal equivalent to? The RTV based sealants used to replace gaskets?

could also be referring to Loctite gasket maker or Loctite gasket eliminator. Another possibility is a product called the RIGHT STUFF which is much better than silicone.

I called my friendly Yammie dealer, and he told me that Yamaha no longer made Quick Gasket, and that the silicone sealers replaced it.
