Hi all,

Wondering... does anyone here have any real world long term experience
with this stuff?

http://www.fluid-film.com/

Stumbled on some Youtube videos of folks crowing about it, but have no
way of knowing if they're shills...

Thanks in advance!

I've used it on brake and fuel lines for years. Up where the lines
run through the "frame" and crap gathers. A shot once a year, and
"bob's your mother's brother".

For a "light oil" it sure hangs on well. It penetrates into rust,
doesn't wash off eisily, and sort of "gells" leaving something akin to
a thin layer of cosmoline.

It that a matter of days? or months?


If the former, sounds like something I could use.

Sounds like LPS 3. Wonder if it's cheaper? Lanolin has been used for
a century or more for preventing rust in gun barrels after firing
corrosive ammo. So no new idea there.

Just bought a std spray can at Grainger, about $11 based on some rave
reviews on another fabrication web site. I have not tried it out yet.

It appears to be thixotropic. That is. although it goes on kinda
gloppy from either an aerosol can or an undecoat gun, vibration makes
it flow. So it appears to penetrate into those crevices where frame
segments join, brake line attachments and the like from the vibration
of driving.

I try to do my '89 F250 once a year. So far, so good, even in our wet
and salty Maritime climate. Seems not to last more than a year. Maybe
half a year if your vehicle in on the road a lot of the time. (My
truck gets very light use, is garaged when not in use in winter.)

Fifty bucks a gallon here in bulk but that's cheaper than aerosol
cans.
