Two tips on applying Fluid Film.

Two tips on applying Fluid Film I just picked up and will use them the next time I coat my frame with Fluid Film.

1.) Don't use water when cleaning the interior boxed section of the frame, but use compressed air only.

2.) Start with the interior boxed section when coating your frame and let it creep down through the dirt/debris inside to the rust. Finish by applying a final coat inside the boxed section, this way you have given enough time for the first coat to reach the rust, then a second coat to be sure there is full coverage in the most important area of frame protection IMO.

 

I always use one of these attached to a garden hose to loosen up dirt and grime and blast the stuff out.
Works great. Then just undercoat it a few days later when it dry.

 

Next tip: heat it up before spraying.

 

Yep, I heat up 2 qt. undercoating plastic bottles in hot water, apply with 80 psi and nothing is missed.

Third tip. Lower the spare.

 

Another tip, spray inside the tailgate and up the inner rear quarter panels. I also removed the plastic trim to hit inside the front fenders passed thr door jam. Inner front wheel wells too.

 

Does this stuff dry tacky or is it dry? I’m interested in doing tis, but I do some beach driving and can envision sand sticking to the stuff.

 

Not sure if sand would stick but Im in Landscaping and we call the stuff Dirt Glue.

T9 works better with less stick properties
