Can I use high temp copper rtv on my thermostat housing

[dsmmike50t]

Is it okay to use high temp copper rtv(orange) on my thermostat housing. I just swapped out my head with a rebuilt one and know I'm leaking coolant from there. Has anyone done this succesfully.

Thanks, I went ahead and tried it and it seems to have worked out great.

Yep. I used black RTV on my mustang with no issues for 1.5 years(sold it, it's still not leaking for the new owner). Those cheap paper gaskets that come with most thermostats are junk anyways.
