No, I have never used it, I am not their sales agent, just want to hear about real experiences, not advertisement.

Please tell me your steel seal story :)

Im by nature generally sceptical to this kind of fixes.
Ive tried the stuff to prevent water leaks in the radiator it worked great, but never tried it to fix a headgasket..

This stuff might seal a head gasket leaking into the crankcase briefly but I seriously doubt it could improve a leak at the fire ring. Same with cracks. As long as they aren't subjected to combustion pressure then pehaps a temporary "fix".

no way will it hold combustion pressure.

never used that but did just try Mighty Putty. That stuff is great.
