for the ultimate protection ....
they don't tout this with their product
back to black silicone spray ...
it works very very well as a rust protectant
but has side effects ...
they are ...
if you ever do any painting in your workshop .......it will prevent
paint sticking to any surface ........even in the minutest quantities.
the stuff will coat every surface in the workshop (from the mist
drift) .....so can get on to all metals ...unknowingly ...preventing
you painting them properly in the future.
think that's why you don't see these polymer silicone sealants for
cars on the market anymore ...think the auto industry outlawed
them ...because ...they were having failing results with insurance
jobs
so if you don't do any painting ...or plan to ..........you can use
the stuff.
all the best.....markj
