Case Sealant

I promise I am not rehashing an age old debate here but…
I'm a 574 fan, but lately the case sealing surfaces are looking worse and worse. Even Ollie's is putting a relatively rough cut when they align bore. So… I have been using DOW730 with great success (it's much more expensive though).
Today I was reading the factory manual for the 996tt (Mezger case) and it says to use DreiBond 1209.
This makes me wonder if the 1209 (which is easier to source) would be a welcome case sealant for the older cases also. Has anyone used 1209 on a pre-wasser cooled motor as case sealant with success?
