Small Fluid Film application in Winter

Hey everyone,

So over the summer I treated my frame with KBS RustSeal and cavity coater with great results. Unfortunately I missed a few small spots on my frame. I can't coat them with the KBS products until it gets warmer since its temperature/moisture curing. I wanted to protect these spots with fluid film for the next month and a half until it warms up again. My question is, although fluid film will block moisture and salt from interacting with the frame, I was wondering if salt that is on the road already will stick to the fluid film? And if so is that worse for the frame then just leaving it exposed?

 

It will always be better to coat the frame than not! Wash the frame real good, get any salt thats on there off and fliud film the shit outta it! Even if the salt "sticks" to the film like you asked, itll be much better than salt sticking to the bare metal or existing rust.

 

^^agree.
I use FF on mine. I do wire wheel it to knock off any crap that is there first.
But, if I didn't have the WW option, I would just spray it on the best I could, like Bry said.

 

Correct me if I am wrong, its ok if salt sticks to the fluid film? It wont harm the metal at all?

 

You want the salt to stick to bare metal, or coated metal?

Fluid film it.

 

I already did

 

Think of any oil like plastic wrap. Basically you are trying to encapsulate the metal to keep moisture/oxygen (and anything else) from reaching it. Wish I had a better way to describe it. Fluid Film is a creeping oil. That stuff will creep for days if it is even mild out. Great stuff.
