Not as nasty to get off, either. Stan |

Help with Cosmoline
LPS-3 is nothing like Cosmoline. Cosmoline provides more of less
eternal protection on parts not exposed to the sun. This is why it is so difficult to remove. Not so with LPS-3. I sold a 25 lbs jar of Cosmoline recently. i On 2012-03-22, Stanley Schaefer wrote: On Mar 22, 5:07?am, " wrote: On Mar 21, 2:02?am, "Stormin Mormon" wrote: Source, I'd try Ebay or Amazon.

Once a thin rust or zinc oxide film has formed it holds the LPS-3. jsw |

I'm still testing. get back to me in another nine years. karl |

It's now been 8 months out in wind, rain & snow and it's still quite greasy. I can't say how rustproof it is, as the pole is painted. |
