Another use for Fluid Film

ccsial · Dec 9, 2009

I went out to clear off 8 inches of wet heavy snow, The stuff that always plugs my blower. This time I had a thought and sprayed the chute and impeller down with fluid film. Two hours of blowing and no plugged chute, not even any sticking to it. It really worked.

Nice. Maybe I'll try it on the underside of my mower decks next year.

Just got my shipment last week. Sprayed it on the moving parts of my front blade. Nothing to report yet but everyone who uses it swears by it.

Never heard of it! Use to use Garry's "It" silicone spray! Was suppose to coat my mower bottom and blower chute with this stuff:

EZ-Slide Alkyd Based Graphite Lubricating Paint

But of course never got around to it and now we're facing this winter blast!!!

a year ago they sent me a free sample to try. i love the stuff. just ordered a couple more cans. its fantastic stuff. doesn't wear off easily. like wd40 but sticks like grease.

Saw some of the posts here about Fluid Film and bought a spray can to try on my hydralic cylinders to reduce possible rust. I had been using WD 40. Based on the praise of the stuff here on TBN I thought I had better try it. I sprayed it on my backhoe cylinders since it is currently off the tractor and I want to reduce chance of rust. I went back to the backhoe after a couple of weeks and the cylinders were pretty covered with flying bugs, gnat like. They must have liked the stuff.

ha!!! at first i hated the smell of it. its so funky, but now i really like it. smells kinda good. i did the same thing with my hoe. it has been on there for a few months now and there is a really nice coating still on it. it doesn't evaporate away. leaves a coating kinda like spray on lithium grease.

Will this stuff harm the seals in the front of the cylinders?

Not one little bit. If anything it will keep then from drying out.

It does not contain solvents which is a good thing when it comes to seals. The solvents in allot of products can dry them out and actually cause damage.

Fluid Film contains no solvents. That statement alone means a number of things:

1) No evaporation. No evaporation means more useable product, which in turn means a much better value for your money. Most competitive products contain as much as 70% solvent, meaning most of what you spray evaporates and contaminates the atmosphere.

2) Non-tacky application. With solvent-based materials, the end product ends up being a gummy, sticky mess. Fluid Film will NEVER get tacky, retaining a super-slick consistency that provides excellent lubrication for moving parts on all metals.

3) Eco-Friendly. No solvents means no ozone depleting chemicals contaminating the atmosphere. It is classified as non-toxic and non-hazardous and is safe to be used inside the home, as well as out in the field.

Fluid Film is manufactured using an all-natural lanolin base. Lanolin is of animal origins, extracted from the wool of sheep, which use it as a waterproofing wax to aid in shedding water from their coats. It has been used for centuries for its medicinal and rust-preventive properties.

I had to get a tech opinion on this. Here it is.

A) Will not effect the seals. Fluid Film itself is probably no slicker than the oil behind the seal. It's just not petroleum based. Fluid Film is not known to have any significant effect on rubber.

B) If some were to get beyond the seal, it would certainly be an insignificant amount. And even if a more substantial amount were to mix with the oil, there is no known negative issues.
