Anyone out plowin?

For rust determent----
Heat RAW linseed oil and spray that as you would with any undercoating product.
Head will thin it out for spraying.

Linseed oil will not clot or skin up and has an affinity for rust.
A drop will get itself sucked up by any rust nearby like in seams etc.
Heated make it act like diluted and gels quite rapidly as it dries.

Aviation has used RAW linseed oil to protect steel tubing structures ever since.

Downside is the sweet smell that'll linger for a while.

I proved this way back when we had a VW beetle that was notorious for rust.

That product is OK for areas that are obviously exposed,....and can be accessed visually.
It is much too viscous to protect the seams of metals that are crimped, or spot welded together.
Cars and trucks rust most frequently in areas where salt and debris gets trapped, areas that are not readily accessed.

Cars and trucks get the most rust in areas that cannot be readily accessed.

When it gets hot out the ff runs into all the seams...I spray my truck in the summer....

the stuff was literally designed for undercoating cars, there are a ton of youtube video's on how to properly undercoat a car, which i have done. it gets in every orfice you can think about. it comes out like a mist, and can creep, have you actually used it? i can get it in door panels and other sections with 0 issue.

I bought a spray kit from this place........Welcome to kellsportproducts.com - Woolwax lanolin vehicle undercoating. Woolwax stops rust !

Maybe......but you only see what is obvious.
If you do the door bottom seams inside, just take a door trim panel off and compare.
Or....the seams inside a tail light housing, or inside a front directional.
I know LPS-3 does a much better job!
Check out the LPS-3 MIL spec.

Sorry to burst your bubble Peter, but that "spray kit" is homeowner feel good equipment!
It is not even on a level similar to the mighty Wagner Power Painter.
Oh sure, the "kit"..... will spray the Fluid Film, but you will not reach many of the areas that REALLY need it.
Oh ......be assured also, that when YOU are done, YOU absolutely will not rust!

Yes.....I have used it!
I also purchased my very own high dollar ARO/Bolair professional application equipment.
I realize that few folks would ever spend the money necessary for professional application equipment.
A homeowner can do a superficial job with several different products.
It takes a full day to do a professional job, and professional equipment is necessary to do a professional.
A little spray gun with a little hose, is just enough to make some feel that they are doing a good job.

The "ton of youtube video's" that you reference do not show what is being missed.

Perhaps we have a terminology difference here though.
To a certain extent your method WILL work for "undercoating".
I am talking about RUSTPROOFING the car!

whatever floats your boat buddy, I have used the graco sprayers, there is no considerable difference between them and the one in the kit. the kit from fluid film is more then adequate. but you seem to have your mind made up. I've been spraying for years, the kit works thats all you need to know.

If you only knew one half as much as you think you do!

I too wonder this, and I'd bet 99% of the rest of the guys here do to. Makes you wonder if they're just pretty looking with a friendly personality and NOT meteorologists and just anothe talking head reading someone elses interpretation of the latest NWS report.:confused3:

They ARE just that!

Had between 6 to 14" of snow on my private road plus a 2 to 3 foot high snowbank (my first real storm). When I started to blow, I didn't noticed that I was in high gear instead of low so even if I was on gear 1, I started at 4 mph instead of 1 mph. Only took a few seconds before the snow accumulated over the mouth of the blower and packed the chute hard (at first, I thought I broke a shear bolt). Cleaned this up, put in low gear and went my merry way. Switched to gear 2 (1,2 mph), the blower took it no problem. Switched to gear 3 (1.7 mph) and again, no problem. At 2.6 mpg in gear 4, snow started to accumulate behind the blower so not wanting to unpack the chute again, switched back to gear 3 and finish the first past up to the snowbank. Bad idea to keep it in gear 3 there. Packed the chute again. Unpacked it, raised the chute deflection so it shoot more straight (the fact that the chute was shooting too horizontal might have helped to pack the chute I think), switch to gear 1 and it swallowed that snowbank like butter Came back in gear 3, no issue. I like the blower 68" wide opening. Only one out and in pass and the road is done

Geared tractors and blowers are a true learning experience. I had one for 14 years......still messed up occasionally. I do love the hydrostat tractor

Snow around here reminds me of that Kung Foo movie - "Wax on - wax off". This morning at 6 AM - 5" of brand new snow. This evening at 8 PM - wet ground.

 

[SylvainG]

I think you mean that 'karate' movie, "Karate Kid" or its recent spin off, Cobra Kai

 

[oosik]

You are ABSOLUTELY correct. Pat Morita is teaching the Karate Kid by doing - wax on/wax off. Couldn't think of the title at that moment.

In any case - the tiny bit of snow in the valleys is almost gone this morning.

I think I can look out the big glass doors and see spring coming this way. In the last three day I've had two intense "spit ball" snow storms. Tiny snow balls, the size of BB's and it will last 15 minuets max. I call them "spit balls" because they are very soft - not like hail.

God, its been a long winter. One not soon forgotten.

 

[TractorTYMe]

My tractor must have a SUPERIOR anti-snow forcefield. I've only received a skiff two days in a row the last few days, while North central and central Idaho got all my snow. Oh, I do wax on - Wax off on a regular basis, I'm a children's instructor at my local Shotokan Karate Dojo.
