Permatex "Right Stuff" Replacing Most Cut Gaskets ?

I just watched their video talking about all their sealers & gasket makers, at the end they were talking about the Right Stuff.
They said that product can replace cut gaskets, except for cylinder heads and gas contact.

Right Stuff comes off too hard for me. I use Ford diesel silicone. TA-31 I think but not positive of the part number.
I find gaskets seal better for me with only a touch of silicone in the areas that need it, not all gooped up.

I pulled off my intake a couple of months ago and sent it to master porter JDC. I had put it together with the Right Stuff. I was worried that it would be hard to take apart based on what I've read. It wasn't so bad. I had to pry the intake up a bit with a screw driver. It didn't take a lot of force. Just a little bit. I will use the Right Stuff again as it sure as heck does seal. Just my experience.

I BENT the corner of an aluminum sheet metal intake, with 1/2" flanges, trying to unstick the manifold that had been installed with the Right Stuff. Never again ; TA-31 for me.

A fellow member suggested the Motorcraft TA-31, and was looking to order, until I viewed the video and am curious if this will be better than most old school products ?
Would be nice to have one gasket maker instead of 3-4, seal better and is sensor safe.
TA31- Is this the product ?

One guy I know ruined a valve cover and another guy ruined an oil pan trying to get Right Stuff off.
I've used TA-31 and Right Stuff both and they both seal equally well so TA-31 for me.
Plus I think TA-31 looks better on the ends of an aluminum intake, but that's just me.

I'll just get the TA31. I always use a finger to remove and smooth out excess silicone, I hate to see any, so I prefer the gray color over the blue, black and red. I paint and polish the aluminum on my engines, so I looks means alot.

I don't like having to spend hours cleaning the stuff off.
In many areas (like intakes) I think the gaps created by the paper gaskets wouldn't allow RTV alone being used. Endwalls? certainly, but that is easier to clean off.

Motorcraft TA31 for me, right stuff can be a pain. As a die hard Ford fanatic I use Ford products when I can.

Might have to try one or the other if I put the tunnel ram back on the 302. That intake is a PITA to keep sealed around the ports for any length of time.

The right stuff has porosity issues because of air pockets, if used on a China wall it often leaks.

I bought two tubes of the TA31 for $25 free ship. The right stuff isn't the right stuff, for me anyway.
