Any one this stuff? I was thinking of applying a coating just before winter.

Fluid Film? | Corrosion Preventative, Lubricant and Rust Inhibitor

I use it and like it. This older thread will probably answer most of your questions.

Going to rust check the truck today. Do you have an undercoat gun??

Going to pre spray everything before winter storage.

For me this stuff has worked well. I applied it to the under carriage, and wheel rims, of my CK20TLB within one week after getting the new tractor delivered. I do store the tractor in my garage but as of today after about 8 years virtually zero rust and I use this tractor moderately for snow removal and other chores. Goes on a lot easier if it is applied to a warm (metal sitting in 70 - 80 degree air) surface on a warm day. This stuff has a an odor but the smell is not terrible at least in my book. Good rust prohibitor. Happy tractoring!!

:laughing: I got a few cans last winter when I was in Oregon, it works great and have almost used it up. I was just gonna post today asking about where to get it in bulk and lo and behold here it is already on TBN including a great place to buy it with FREE shipping to Alaska! Once again TBN is the best:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Our TSC store up here csrry it by the gallon. Works great. Used 3/4 gallon to rust check the truck, should have enough left to spray the MF, and implements.

Great stuff.

Used it for years. IMHO, better than WD40.

I have heard or read the Fluid Film in the gallon cans has a shelf life. Any truth to that?

I will find out for you.

Roy - don't know about the shelf life on the gallon cans, but the manufacturer did warn about a shelf life issue with the aerosal cans .... post 17 in this thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/154275-eureka-fluid-film-2.html

The only place around here to carry Fluid Film is the John Deere dealership. It is really great stuff. :thumbsup:

Same here, but they only carry aerosol cans. Never asked if they can order gallons though.
Great stuff, but does have a peculiar odor that's hangs around a while. Not really unpleasant smell though.

We stock our store with it.
We use atleast a case a month in the shop, winter time 2 cases (snowplows)
It will even work circles around PB blaster!

I spoke with Fluid Film co directly and even the spray cans have a shelf life. They said to try to use it witin 1-1.5 years of the date code on the can/container.

I bought mine at the local JD dealer and bought the can from the back of the line and looked at the date...just like buying milk
