Will Fluid Film® adversely affect plastic or rubber?
No, Fluid Film® has no adverse effects on plastics or synthetic rubber. On 100% natural rubber, some swelling can occur.

Can I paint over a surface treated with Fluid Film®?
Because Fluid Film® leaves a wet, non-drying film and imbeds itself in the pores of the metal, any surface treated with Fluid Film® should be wiped down with a good biodegradable cleaner before painting.

Will Fluid Film® remove rust?
Fluid Film® is not formulated to remove rust. However, if applied over existing rust, it will stop it immediately from spreading further. Fluid Film® will penetrate rust and rust scale to the base metal, loosening and easing in the removal process.

Will Fluid Film® work on battery terminals?
Fluid Film® is an excellent way to protect battery terminals. Because Fluid Film® is non-conductive, make your connections before applying. The non-drying characteristics of Fluid Film® will provide long term protection in this application.

I have a gallon of Fluid Film® and want to thin it down. How can I do that?
The first recommendation is to thoroughly mix the product. Fluid Film® is thixotropic, and will get heavier upon sitting. Achieving room temperature with the product will help as well. If a thinner version is wanted, start by mixing a small amount of lightweight motor oil to the product until the desired consistency is reached. It is not recommended that Fluid Film be used in a pump type sprayer even after thinning. A paint sprayer or customized Sure Shot is what is recommended for proper application. Such as a Shootz gun.

Does Fluid Film® dry out?
No. Fluid Film® is a lanolin based product containing no solvents. It will not evaporate or dry from the surface. Fluid Film® will leave a wet, non-drying film, that will provide long term corrosion protection on all metals and superior lubrication for all moving parts.

Will Fluid Film® stop grass from sticking to my lawnmower?
Wet grass will stick to almost any surface. Applying Fluid Film® will prevent any corrosion from occurring and ease in removal of grass build up.

Can you use a pump type sprayer to spray Fluid Film® in the bulk form?
No. Fluid Film® needs to be sprayed at 60-80 psi. For larger applications, standard airless paint spraying equipment is required. For smaller and spot spraying applications, we sell Sure Shot sprayers for this purpose complete with an adapter and tip.

What makes Fluid Film® different from the competition?
Where most products contain between seventy and ninety percent solvent, Fluid Film® contains none except for its propellant, meaning long lasting lubrication and protection. With no solvent, Fluid Film® won't evaporate or become sticky or gummy, allowing it to migrate to other areas for lubrication or protection. With its unique lanolin base, Fluid Film® will actually imbed itself in the pores of metal, resisting wash off and keeping moisture and oxygen from getting to the base metal. Containing no solvent content, Fluid Film® lends itself to numerous applications where the comparative solvent-based products would not even be considered.
