Hate to revisit this topic, but there seems to be no consensus about thermostat gaskets and sealant.
Some swear to use no sealant.
Others say absolutely no RTV with gasket (Permatex has a thermostat/water pump version).
Permatex #2 is mentioned a bit, along with a host of others.
Comments/opinions/experience for the shade tree mechanic? How does one make a decision??????
