I've been thinking of trying TopKote (or whatever it's called these
days) and even bought a can but it doesn't say anything about
preventing rust. Did they change the formula? I really don't like
Boeshield but I like rust a lot less.


Way back when, when Topcote was originally made by Empire, I bought it
to only slick up my TS Top, that is what it was made for. It was great
for that but after about 6 months I noticed that I was no longer having
an issue with rust.
You need to put on a lot the first time, a few coats and the more you
use it the better it protects. It is not guaranteed to prevent rust but
as a bonus it works better for me than any thing else I have tried.




This place is the leas expensive that I have found for TopCote/GlideCote.

Wow! Free shipping, too. I've seen prices like that but they don't
tell you that they charge $15-$20 shipping and handling.



Fortunately they are a local place for me that I have been doing
business with for 20+ years. I would suspect their web site not
determining a correct shipping price.... Seems if there were free
shipping there would not be an input location for destination.
This store is top notch with very helpful people and they typically beat
the pants off of the competition prices.

Either way the average price, elsewhere, for a can is around $18-19.
