Fluid Film

[RoyJackson]

I've read a few TBNer's post about this product. However, a search on Goggle doesn't list many places selling it (other then internet sales, like Amazon) and the Fluid-Film website dosen't appear to be operational any longer.
So, is it that good? Is it still available and where did you buy it?

Thanks, Men!
I've got to stop by the dealer this week...I'll pick up a couple cans.
Price I saw on Amazon was about 10 bucks...is that what you paid?

TSC carries it too.

Never have seen it at any of the TSCs around here...maybe its regional.
Last time I bought some at a JD dealer it was about $25 IIRC, but that is for a gallon can.

My JD dealer gave me a can for free. The slick bas...d.

It was a little itty bitty can.

Now I buy big spray cans and I have a gallon of the stuff! :laughing:

I use a cheap paint brush to apply the stuff in the gallon can. I have the box blade teeth sitting against a tree. I put Fluid Film on them a year or so back. I don't see much rust.

Amazing stuff.

Seems like the spray cans were $5 for a medium can and maybe $10 for a large can. $25 for a gallon sound about right.

After a couple of years I bet I have only use 5-15% of the gallon can. The spray cans are lasting longer since I only use them when I can't use the paint brush to apply the Fluid Film from the gallon jug.

Later,
Dan

Thanks for all the responses, gentlemen!!!

You might want to search for previous threads on fluid film... it seems there was a fairly short shelf life on some of the spray cans, so the bulk seemed like a better solution if you don't use a lot (that sounds kind of contradictory !!). The stuff is amazing and I highly recommend it.

Great stuff. I got mine at the JD dealer, about $10.00 can.

I sprayed it on just about everything in the shop that turns, hinges or otherwise moves. It works much better that wd40.

I have a battery terminal on my truck that corrodes constantly. I have wire brushed it , sprayed it with post protector, sprayed with wd40, old oil,...everything I could think of, and it always corrodes again.

I sprayed it with Fluid Film, and it has yet to corrode several months later.

I also spray it on a rag, and wipe down my tractor with it after I wash it.

Thank you for that information. Sounds like it's better to buy the gallon and use a brush or pump spray bottle for application.

Be careful with the spray bottle idea. Been There Done That and it don't work. :laughing:

The FF in the gallon jug is very thick. To get it to spray you would need to thin the FF some how. I never did figure out the some how so I used a brush and bought the spray can for when I need to spray. :laughing:

The FF in the jug has stuff floating in it. Globs of stuff. Thick stuff. Big gooey gopher guts gobs of stuff. :laughing:

Just curious, anyone know how FF compares to Liquid Wrench Dry Lubricant?

That website reads like it's good for inside use only...

I have spray cans of Fluid Film that are two years plus that spray just fine. I keep them in the trucks and the barn. They seem to have a better shelf life than WD40 spray cans.

Love FF. I use it to condition my leather boots as well. Got the tip from a boot salesman.

 

[MW66]

I bought a spray can at my Kubota dealer. He told me that brush up the undersides of their outside tractors in the fall each year.

My spray cans died after about a year. Unused cans would spray for a few seconds and then die.

My dealer just delivered a spray can of Fluid Film. They don't carry the gallon jugs.
He was dropping off a quick hitch so we killed 2 birds with one stone.

Cost was $9.78 (including tax). I hope it's as good as you guys say it is!
