Rustoleum lubricants?

[countrybumpkin]

Anyone tried any of these, just seen them at Menards while getting some fluid film, wondered if they were worth a darn.

Ended up picking up a can of the gel and a can of the multi purpose just to see how they work on stuff.

I might want that gel. Let me know what it is like. I have had aerosol cans before that were a sprayable fluid that shortly later thickened into a grease consistency. I loved it because you could spray it, flow/run it and know that once it crept in to the gaps of moving parts and had 5 minutes or so to evaporate the carrier... it thickened up into a nice grease like lube that worked way better than WD-40 alone.

So, please do share your opinion of that "gel". I bet others will have similar interest in it as I do.

I will be using it today, so I will post back this evening.

I never got the impression that he was comparing to Fluid Film at all. If you re-read his original post, he says that while shopping for Fluid Film he came across these new products and wondered how they perform. My interpretation is that he is just discovering a new product and asking if any of ya'all know anything about them.... But I suspect that he still bought the Fluid Film because it is a totally different product/task.

Couple of cans of a similar product followed me home from work one day. Great stuff like you said, it'll creep then thicken up into grease.........Mike

What was it? Is it available retail or is it a professional only product like ZEP?

 

[mrmikey]

What was it?

Can't remember the name, it was a consumer grade product...I think. Only thing I remember is it was called Spray Gel-Lube and it had a paper label because it fell off and I had to write the name on it. Spraying it had the viscosity of water and once the carrier evaporated it was sticky and as thick as white grease........Mike

Rural King is selling a few PB Blaster products including a garage door lubricant that does just that .... goes on as a spray, then takes a grease like consistency.

P.B. Blaster Garage Door Lube 12 oz - 16GDL

There's also a bar and chain oil spray and a few other types.

I've got a can of PB Blaster Corrosion Stop that sprays on then dries to a light gel. I used it for under deck electrical connections on the boat.

I did try it on the tractor battery terminals for awhile, but it attracted and held a lot of dust

I use that or one of the various chain lubricant that comes in a spray can. The chain lubricants are generally better about not attracting dirt once they dry. I think the one I usually use is made by CRC.

I never said I was comparing these to the fluid film, I was asking if anyone has used these and there thoughts on them. Yes I still bought the fluid film

Sorry I didn’t get back sooner been busy, I used the Gel lubricant on a old floor jack that had been setting in a barn for a while. It’s been 3 days now and the lubricant pretty much has evaporated, as for it being gel, it’s a bit thicker than say wd40 but not much, sure wasn’t what I had in mind. The standard penetrating lubricant seemed to be about like any other cheap penetrating lube.
