Just kind of a commentary. You have no idea how many times I have been asked if I am receiving a commission on your product, even by my own boss. The reason being is, if I hear a squeak I say spray some Fluid Film and it will fix that. Oh that's got rust on it you should spray it with Fluid Film. That bolt is seized on forget Liquid Wrench spray it with Fluid Film. You have a great product and I want the world to know. Keep up the good work.

We purchase a case of FF each season, been using FF since 02, all our ZTRS get healthy coatings: the underside of the decks, pivot points, hinges, spindles, PTO shafts. Walker GHS system gets a coating each night, limiting the number of clogs, and reducing dirt & grass build up on all our equipment. At $7.50 a 12oz aerosol can, FF is a great investment on maintaining an efficient lawn care crew. Now I find reduced time spent fighting with "stuck" pins, PTO shafts, quick detach buckets, 3-point hitch's are easily hooked up with FF. Use it on our chainsaw blades, hedge trimmer blades, hedge pruners, and loppers. FF will not combust or harm plants or grass, smells good IMO.

I am a (diy) kind of guy and here are the multiple uses I have found you can use a great product and save on a little headache in the future.  Fluid Film is the first thing I grab when I go to work on my kids bikes, first thing I grab when I line my fishing reels, and a must around the old Landcruiser I'm restoring.  I have used it on everything from  squeaky doors,  rusted bolts, and  always on the shotguns after a hunt.

- Jason Rhoads - Fluid Film Customer

It worked out great! I tried it on many different surfaces and in many different applications. I went out and bought a case of it for myself for my snowplow business. My cousin, who owns a fleet of 84 dump trucks saw it and he ordered a ton of it also! He loved it too and is now using it throughout his shop and on his fleet. I also bought a couple of cans to use here at the police department. We have a couple of squads that have the older style halogen rotator lightbars. These bars are very problematic in the winter with freezing motors, etc. I sprayed the gears in the bars and I am confident that they will now perform flawlessly for the winter months. Keep up the good work.

Best spray lube ever. I'm a locksmith, I've used 10 different lubes before trying Fluid Film and let me say nothing comes close. I use it to keep water out of lock cylinders to keep them from freezing in -40 degree weather. My truck mounted key machine needed WD-40 everyday. I can't even remember when I put the Fluid Film it was so long ago and it runs better than ever. This year for the first time I tried undercoating my car with it and to my surprise not a single drop fell on the ground. I recommend this stuff to everyone I see. With spray lube, those other cans of spray are only good for cleaning parts now IMO. Thanks for an awesome product.

- Andrew Mills - Fluid Film Customer

I have been using spray cans of Fluid Film under my deck on my w/b for 2 years now. It worked ok for reducing grass buildup. I bought a gallon can of it last month ad applied it to the underside of the deck. WOW! It was like night and day. There was very little grass buildup after 2 weeks of intermittent use. I'm sold on the (thicker) liquid version of Fluid Film for use under mowing decks.

We use our travel trailer all winter as we travel to and from the ski hill. With all of the road salt and grime we started having a real problem with the slide-out on the trailer. The tracks underneath were corroding and making a terrible screeching noise when we put the slide in or out. I sprayed some Fluid Film on the tracks and gears under the trailer and after running the slide in and out a few times the screech noise went away and the slide runs smoothly again. I was amazed at how the Fluid Film seemed to spread along all of the exposed metal and coat it evenly! I am sure that this product will allow us untroubled use of our trailer slide for years to come!

Just to let you know that Fluid Film did its job. It protected the bare steel column of my new drill press, located in my garage in Florida. We generally run 80 to 90% humidity most of the summer. It rains here almost every day, during the rainy season, between 3 & 5 pm. We are located on a canal that leads to the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks for the samples; my son's also use your product on jobs, and on their cabin cruiser. One son, whose truck is a disaster on wheels, where the side sliding door would have a hard time opening, now opens better than when it came from the dealer.
Great product. All the best.

- Izzy Krupka - A & I Mechanical Services Inc.

One of the problems with pellet stoves in the summer is light rusting inside the stove due to humidity. I spray Fluid Film inside and no longer have to worry about the rusting. It burns off with no smell in the room at all.

- Dave Orcutt - Fluid Film Customer

I thought I would drop you a line and tell you about some of the uses we found at the mine....
I have sprayed a few different places along our overland beltline that are exposed to the elements. I even used some on a 2x2 metal access door that was still bare steel along with the piano hinge. The thing was just starting to show signs of surface rust and the hinge was starting to bind, but after a soaking with the Fluid Film right after I got it (which was 2 or 3 weeks ago) the hinge is still totally silent!!! This hinge is totally exposed to the outdoor elements.
The guys on the belt crew were going to try it on the hardware that's subjected to a lot of rust, the rust makes it harder to change out belt rollers and you also end up replacing the nuts and bolts.

The stuff works great on leather too!! After reading up a little on your website, I tried it on my Matterhorn leather work boots. So far after 2 weeks they still remain soft and pliable... they usually get stiff over the weekends when they aren't used.
This is due to them getting wet every day either from the mud and water or washing them off at the end of every shift. Unfortunately this is also the main cause of having to replace the boots at least once a year due to dry rot of the stitching, and at $250.00 a pair that can be a pain in the wallet if your not expecting it...lol

Anyway, I just thought I would let you know the progress that's going on with the Fluid Film here at work. If you want to quote me on any of this feel free to do so...
Oh yeah I used some on both of my jet skis too......

We use Fluid Film in our small engine shop and during plow season. Spray it on EVERYTHING on a mower and a plow. We wipe down door and window seals with it = no more stuck doors and windows on your car or truck. Spray down dump-beds and salter compenents for salting. Spray all your hand tools, guns, fishing equipment. Basically, when in doubt = use Fluid Film. Susequently the corrosion and the doubt have now been removed.

- J Oostendorp - Fluid Film Customer

I am an auto shop manager full time and own a lawncare business on the side. i First learned about Fluid Film on a green-industry website called Lawn Cafe. Dan was nice enough to send me a sample can which I promptly put to use.

During my years in the auto repair industry, i became convinced that in order for a penetrating oil/lubricant to work, it had to be capable of eating the hair off of your hands.

My first uses for Fluid Film were green industry related. I used it to lube my hedge trimmers, coat the underside of my mower deck to aid its discharging capabilities, and spray the battery terminals on my mower to eliminate the corrosion. It worked beautifully in all of these applications.

Next I bought a can from a dealer and decided to try it in the shop. I did not believe it would penetrate enough to remove exhaust pipe bolts, as nothing i had ever used really worked in that application. Usually when giving an estimate, I figured the cost of new bolts, as they always break during removal. I sprayed them down really well and immediately noticed that Fluid Film does not run off the way other penetrating oils do. I let it sit for 20 or 30 minutes and put an impact wrench on them, and they came right off.

Since then I have used it as tap lubricant, starter fluid, injector ring lube, drill lube, battery terminal/cable corrosion eliminator, and a host of other daily applications. There aren't any dealer within 30 miles or so, so I asked Dan to help me order by the case, and he was nice enough to take the time to assist me with the order. Eureka Chemical Co could not ask for a better person to represent the company. Even though I am not ordering huge quantities like a box store would, he still treated me with respect. Customer Service is one of the "buzzwords" that execs like to throw around, but the vast majority of companies could learn alot from Dan and the rest of the Eureka employees.

Thanks Fluid Film, you have given me more of the only thing I have to sell - my time.

- Brendan Smith - Fluid Film Customer

I was given a sample can of Fluid Film at a John Deere expo in St Louis, MO. I've been using it as my primary lubricant ever sense. We received a large amount of heavy wet snow last night. As I was clearing my drive, my two stage snow blowers snow shoot plugged with snow. I cleared the plug and began blowing snow again and the shoot plugged again. After clearing the snow shoot for the third time I got an idea. I cleaned the snow shoot as good as I could and applied Fluid Film to the inside of the shoot. I was able to finish my entire driveway without having my snow blower plug up again. This is truly a remarkable product!

- Dan Duffy - Fluid Film Customer

I tried Fluid Film a number of months ago and was pleased with the results using it under the deck of my mower as well as on the outside of the deck and the frame. Since the initial use I tried Easy Slide and Mo-Deck. Believe me when I tell you that neither of these compare with FF. I tried both of these under the deck and still had to scrape like h_ ll to get the accumulated grass off. Needless to say, I went back to FF and have had no problem scraping the little bit of grass off that accumulates on the deck. I also continued to wipe down the outside of the deck as well as parts of the frame to avoid any rust. I did buy the last FF in the gal. can. To apply it under the deck I just use a paint brush. It takes a little longer the spraying but it is worth it. I also found it works good when I wash my car and wipe down the trim. FF is a great product and I for 1 will continue to use it. I may get a paint sprayer for my compressor. This might make it easier to apply to my deck. Just thought I would let you know my thoughts on your product. You were nice enough to return my emails concerning FF several months ago. Have a good day.

- Hugh Hawfield - Fluid Film Customer

I was introduced to Fluid Film a couple of years ago when a friend was undercoating my first new car. He told me it was the best product he had ever seen or used.

After his advice, I looked up your web site and learned about all the many uses and environmentally safe features of Fluid Film. I use it for every recommended uses and have found some of my own.

I've applied it in my do it yourself plumbing repairs and last week I borrowed a neighbour's weed eater and during some indepth weed wacking, made quite a mess of his machine. However, after a quick power wash, I gave it a healthy application of Fluid Film. All the parts looked like new, especially the plastic guard.

I was really impressed and my friend appreciated me returning his weed eater in better than new condition.

I recommend Fluid Film to all my friends and neighbors!

- John Hawley - Fluid Film Customer

I own a small summer resort and I thought I would let you know some other uses that your product has worked exceptional on. Our paddleboat after being stored all winter, had a loud squeak. After a spray with Fluid Film, it was smooth sailing ahead. Also, the clamps on the wooden swing became very noisy, not very restful for a relaxing sit by the water. A small spray of Fluid Film solved that problem. Your product will always be on hand here for those quick fixups.

- Sheila Hobson - Blue on Blue Cottages, Picton, Ontario

I was given a sample can of Fluid Film at one of your lawn and garden conventions. I am a drywall contractor and spray it on my drywall knives after use. If you don't know, the spring steel used in quality drywall knives will form surface rust within minutes of washing them. Anyhow, one of my 8-inch blades fell between the bed of my pickup truck and my tool box and spent the last six months out in the weather. I was too lazy to unbolt the tool box and get it out, so I figured it would be ruined by the weather and fit for the garbage. I live near the coast in California and we had a very wet winter, and I also get the salt influence in the air. When I pulled out the tool box last week to sell the truck, I found the knife stuffed in the corner of the bed, surrounded by wet rags and other trash. I was completely impressed and quite dumbfounded at the condition of the steel. There was not a bit of rust on it, and it was even still wet of Fluid Film. The wooden handle was weathered, and the varnish was peeling off, so I sanded the handle and sprayed it with fluid film. I will update you on how it works on keeping wood conditioned. Thank you.

- Ricky Morales - Fluid Film Customer

I have had the opportunity to use your non-solvent based Fluid Film and am impressed with the results. This past spring I used it on the engine of my off-shore racing boat. Since that time, I have put sixty high speed hours on the engine and it continues to work well. It certainly has been superior as a lubricant and rust preventative, but it is also a bonus to me that it is environmentally safe as well. I suspect that I will not have to apply it again until the next racing season.

- Spence Andrews - Fluid Film Customer

Works Great. I use it on my Drill Press and Table Saw for when I'm not using them much along with the shafts on my hydraulic cylinders and other metal parts that I want protecting. When I strip down engine parts I spray them before I put them away in Storage.

- Joseph Makowski - Fluid Film Customer

While attending the National Association of Elevator Contractors’ Convention, the President of our Company, Mr. Joseph Villano, was given a sample can of Fluid Film spray lubricant which he brought back to New York. He gave the sample can to me to issue to one of our Maintenance mechanics for evaluation. We lubricated elevator door components such as tracks, hangers, spring closers, clutch roller assemblies and linkages. We then kept a watchful eye on whether or not the lubricant would last very long, and to our satisfaction we discovered that 3 months later everything was still lubricated. As a result, we have been able to quiet down noisy door equipment on various jobs and have reduced shutdowns due to door problems, considerably! We have also tried lubricating elevator guide rails with Fluid Film and are satisfied with the results.

After discussing the performance of Fluid Film with the Maintenance mechanic who was given the sample can, we decided to order one (1) case of lubricant. I issued it to the rest of our Maintenance mechanics and the response was unanimously in favor of Fluid Film! The questions they asked were, “Where did you find this?,” “Can we get more?” One mechanic nick-named Fluid Film as “Wonder Lube.”

In conclusion, we are very satisfied with the Fluid Film and would like to commend your company for providing a superior product. We are finding more uses for it every day including Company vehicles, tools and equipment.

Thank you for your time and for providing us with a quick and easy solution to our lubrication problems.

- Steven J. Villano - Gotham Elevator

I have been a certified and bonded locksmith since February 4th, 1988 and have used many types of lubricants in my business….

A few months ago I was introduced to Fluid Film (Rust Corrosive Preventive) by Mr. Spence Andrews and I must say that it is the best I have used. Seems as though it totally engulfs a lock cylinder when disassembled and makes master keying a lot easier plus lubricates the pins automatically when reassembled. I re-key and master key for a large Century 21 Real Estate firm that manages hundreds of homes and apartments and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone and especially locksmiths

- Homer L. Sellers, JR. – Fluid Film Customer

This is to follow up on our conversation this spring about the product Fluid Film that you prompted me to buy. The environments that we work in range from fresh water rivers and lakes to water treatment tanks filled with anything that a person can fit into a drain pipe. Needless to say, they are harsh at best. Our tools and equipment take a tremendous beating from natural elements. We have been able to protect most of the equipment with various solutions. The one area that had been a big problem was our air tools. Internally the machine work in these tools is set at a very tight tolerance using both stainless and carbon steel material creating a nice area for corrosion and galling to take hold.

I am always looking for new products to increase our productivity as well as gutting down overhead. Fluid Film has done this, all in one 11 ¾ oz. can. After disassembling one of our air drills daily and treating all the parts with this product, 52 working days later and 650 ¾” dia. x 9” deep holes into ledge on the bottom of the Androscogen River we found very little wear on the internal parts of our tools. We also found many other uses for this product. I am of the opinion that Fluid Film surpasses what I had expected. Thank you for the ability to turn an expenditure into an asset.

- Todd Bayreuther – Portland Diving Services

This letter is a voluntary response for a letter of recommendation for the product you represent - Fluid Film. Having used all the familiar brands of lubricant and penetration oils, as well as a few other 'better than' products, Fluid Film has proven to me to be that 'better than' product. An example I like to use is a familiar one - the fishing vessel padlocks and deadbolts lock scenario. After replacing two locks because of broken keep and destroying locks to get in, I used Fluid Film on a new dead bolt wheelhouse lock and it has been almost a year, and the same lock and keep are still in service.

I can, from experience, gladly recommend Fluid Film for any penetrant or lubricant application. Where the old 'tried and true' brands have failed, Fluid Film has sailed.

Keep up the good work and spread the word!

- Bruce E. Woodman - President, Woodman Enterprises, Inc.

I own a lawncare company and I've tried out your sample on my equipment over the last month. The product does do a much better job than WD-40. In particular, I have an adjustable chute deflector on my large mower that I operate from the seat with a lever. It's a complicated thing and has many pivot points and ball joints that quickly become stiff and hard to operate when the lubricant attracts too much dirt and grass clippings. I applied the Fluid Film about a month ago and the chute is still operating flawlessly (and it's been a particularly dry and dusty month). I've used it on just about everything I could think to try it on and it performs as promised.

- Jim Cook - Fluid Film Customer

I really like the Fluid Film. As an agricultural JD service technician, I see all degrees of repair and disrepair of farm equipment.

I use Fluid Film on combine chains that sit idle between seasons. Cab door hinges and locks on combines and tracotrs get an application of Fluid Film. It is excellent on three point hitch tractor cables and shift levers to prevent seizing.

I use Fluid Film most often because it solves a multitude of problems with one product.

- John Schmalshof - John Deere Service Technician

Wanted you to have some of the ideas I have come up with to use Fluid Film. I have used it on the ratchet clutch on Briggs and Stratton engines. I had used WD-40 but it would only work for a couple of days, but Fuid Film will work for several months.

I use it on points on engines that are subject to moisture and the water will not stay on the contact points.

I use it on texture spray guns to keep the texture from sticking to the gun when left for a few hours without being cleaned.

I also use it on car and truck doors and trunk hinges, to protect my guns, leather boots, all bolts and screws which have rusted or stuck.

Fluid Film is really amazing. It can be used in shops with hobbies and crafts everyday.

- John D. Shurtz - Fluid Film Customer

I have been using Fluid Film in my radio and TV business for some time now and I have to say this: "The stuff stays, definitely". In over 30 years of radio and TV work I have used a lot of different product and found many of them failed to produce on their claims, not so with Fluid Film. When I received my initial shipment I read on the label of the can a large number of uses for your product. As time goes by I continue to find new ways to utilize your product.

A great deal of my business is installing two way radios in county vehicles, generally pickup trucks. Since these vehicles normally carry no passengers I find I can barely open the doors for fear of breaking the hinges and the door falling off. Once I do get the doors open, I give the door hinges and locks a couple of squirts of Fluid Film and things work nicely. When I do installations on new factory shipped vehicles I follow a program which also includes using Fluid Film on the battery cables. From time to time I have had these vehicles in my shop for repair of additional installation. I have found that the Fluid Film that I sprayed on is still intact and that these is absolutely no corrosion whatsoever. Very few people keep an eye on their battery cable connectors and unfortunately the rubber boots that some manufacturers put over their cables mask corrosion. A spray or two of Fluid Film and these county employees will never have to worry about sitting near the side of the road waiting for a service truck because of battery cable corrosion.

I have also utilized Fluid Film with marine equipment such as boats. It will protect any component subject to damage from sea water and other corrosive elements. Although Fluid Film does not make a claim for being a high penetrant I have found it quite capable for use in this purpose as well.

The local garage door company got a couple of cans to try recently. They began using Fluid Film on the latches and the rollers of garage doors. They too found the product to be absolutely amazing. The stuff stays there, one you put it there, it stays there. And that is a primary concern when using lubricants. Fluid Film delivers, simply because it stays put.

In conclusion, I thank you for developing such a dependable and multipurpose product and I heartily recommend it to the mechanic, hobbyist, handyman of whomever.

- Bernard V. Smith - Fluid Film Customer

I would like to thank you for your kindness in sending me several sample cans of your excellent Fluid Film lubricant. As you requested, I distributed them to several owners of fully automatic weapons to try as a lubricant on their guns. Their response was singularly enthusiastic. Summarizing their comments, all seemed to feel that it left a slick, durable coating on the moving parts of their guns that was equal to, or better than, products they were accustomed to using.

Since that time, I have had the opportunity to use it not only to lubricate my full auto firearms, but my conventional guns as well, and have been very pleased with the results. (It has been particularly useful on a couple of older guns that tend to get cranky when their lubricant breaks down because of heat, or becomes fouled with grime, powder residue and the like.)

Probably the incident that impressed me the most, though, was the following: Last winter, while taking a "rest stop" along the highway, I picked up a pair of wire cutters that were so crusted with rust that I wasn't even sure exactly what they were. I brought them home, soaked them down with Fluid Film, and put them away for a week or so. Periodically, I would buff off the loosened rust on a wire wheel and apply more lubricant, particularly to the hinge area. (From the foaming action, I could tell the lube was "cooking" down into the crevices, and the red-colored rust would come oozing out!) In no time, the cutters were virtually as good as new, and right now are on my tool bench, ready for work!

Good stuff, that Fluid Film!

- Ken Carter - Fluid Film Customer

Fluid Film works great on my boots. It water proofs them better than any other oil I have used. Water will not penetrate its surface. I found it lasts longer than most oils also. Two to three times longer. It softens leather like no other product.

I use Fluid Film on the clutch of my snowmobile. It prevents moisture from getting into the moving parts and lasts longer than WD-40 or other lubricants. I spray it on the tail light lens and it prevents snow sticking to it, so my light is always visible.

I love Fluid Film on my guns. I never have to worry about moisture, whether it is in the gun cabinet or out in the field. It protects like nothing else and makes my old gun look like new.

I spray it on bicycle chains. It removes the old rust and protects them from the rain and weather. The best part is it will leave a film on the chain for months.

This product has so many uses that I cannot list them all. It's the best product of its kind. I have showed it to friends of mine and now they use it all the time.

- Bob Potter - Fluid Film Customer

Just a note to let you and your company know how great my son and I think your Fluid Film is. We use it on everything from roller chains to nuts, bolts, door hinges and cable linkage. The most impressive job was when we sprayed the bolts on the duals on our tractor. We left it for some time, and the Fluid Film had all burt penetrated the full length of the bolts when we returned to remove them will very little effort. We have used several different products, but non works as well as Fluid Film. You have a great product. Keep up the good work.

- Gary Welker - Fluid Film Customer

Running fishing charters on Lake Michigan can really put your gear through the worst.  Each year I would grease the bearings/drags etc. but I was having problems with corrosion on the graphite/titanium parts of the reels. You figure their use, being wet, being dry, and baking in the summer sun, this would damage anything. Through a trade show in Chicago, I picked up a can (wish I had more now) and tested it out on three reels (inside and out), to make a long story short, they not only look like brand new but act like brand new as well.  So I used the Fluid Film on all the reels (about 36) and have kept them on the back of my boat through rain, intense sun, dry conditions, cool to hot etc. and they still look the  same...excellent!  I wish I would have known about this product a few years back.  You definitely have a customer for life. Thank you!

- Capt. Tom Pataska - Fluid Film Customer

I am writing this note to inform you of my complete satisfaction with your product Fluid Film. I was looking for something that I could use for lubrication of cables and chains. Other products that I have tried tended to attract dust and dirt causing a dirt buildup where applied.

I tried your product Fluid Film in my shop and have found it to be a superior product. I have found when I use Fluid Film for lube on cables and chains the dirt does not tend to stick to them and the chain or cable tends to stay clean longer thus causing less wear or dirt buildup.

The longer I use your product the more uses I find for it. I am quite satisfied with the product and do recommend its use to my customers.

- Larry Comer - KC Mower Shop

My recent introduction to Fluid Film was a welcome addition to my workshop. It acts and performs as an outstanding tool for all purposes. Fluid Film eliminates the clutter of numerous other products and out performs all those that it has replaced. Due to the water resistance of Fluid Film I have found that it prevents the seizing of automotive brake bleeder valves to the water proofing of leather work boots.

I highly recommend Fluid Film. It is cost effective comparatively speaking over the purchase prices of all other products which would match its many uses. I will continue to use it around the house and workshop and run it through its paces in many future applications.

- Gordon D. Hayes - Fluid Film Customer

Saltwater flyfishing is rough on gear. Spray, blowing sand, and tough, fast fish all can tax the best reels available. For my December, 2005 trip to the East Cape in Baja, I tried a new lubricant ....Fluid Film. As an experiment, I decided NOT to clean my reels (a Teton 7 LA and a Teton 8-10 LA ) after every outing....only popping the spools off to blow out the sand every evening.

After 8 days in the surf, my reels looked exactly the same as when I first unpacked them - ZERO CORROSION!! Before I discovered Fluid Film, I had been using light machine oil to lubricate my gear.....it worked fine as a light lube, but never helped fight off the effects of salt and moisture. I am convinced that Fluid Film not only kept my reels running smoothly, but also helped to fight-off rust and corrosion when sprayed on a soft cloth and wiped onto the entire frame and spool. Fluid Film is now a permanant part of my tackle.....fresh or salt."

PS - I have not recieved any compensation for my opinion.

- David Jerrold Lee - Fluid Film Customer

I've been spraying fluid film on the bottom of a few vehicles now for a few years. It definitely makes them look good! I love fluid film. I use it all over cause I understand it's abilities. I'm even thinking I should go into some kind of business selling it somehow. It's one of the few products I could sell because I beleive in it :).

- Ian Main - Fluid Film Customer

I purchased a 97 pick-up. The door locks were hard to work with a key. The drivers door lock would not work at all. Put the key in and try to turn, nothing happened. The passenger door worked after moving the key slightly in and out to get in just the right spot. The tailgate would not unlock at all. I thought I was going to have to replace all the locks. A friend had a can of Fluid Film and we tried it. One spray in each lock.It bubbled brown bubbles out of the key holes. When I tried the key, all the locks worked like new. That was about seven months ago, and they are still working like new locks.

A few months ago, another friend had a pad lock that was rusted and would not open. One spray of Fluid Film and it opened. I think I'll open a lock repair shop. I could make a mint with one can of Fluid Film Rust & Corrosion Preventive.

- David Clemenson - Fluid Film Customer

When shooting a Black powder rifle or pistol it is important to lubricate the soft pure lead bullet. A traditional muzzle loader uses a round ball with a cotton patch cloth to seal the bore to allow proper expansion of gases and to spin the bullet if the bore has rifling.

After having cleaned my Hawkins .50 cal with fluid film I used the last cleaning patch which was saturated with fluid film to patch a round ball and shoot. What I discovered was that the bullet started down the muzzle without using the ball starter with just a push of my thumb and then rammed easily and smoothly all the way down to seat on the powder. The black powder or pyrodex does not absorb much Bullet Lube/Bore solvent and remains ignitable even after storage in the barrel for a week’s time. This is a definite plus for hunting in wet humid weather and prevents misfires. After shooting all day it was simple to spray some fluid film down the barrel and all over the guns lock and trigger and just swab out the powder residue with clean patches. No need to use soap & water which attracts moisture that can cause hang fires and rust.

- Capt. Walt Gibson, New England Charters

I have used Fluid Film in my mobile reel sharpening business for the past three years. When I remove a bedknife from the bedbar, there is usually a fair amount of rust/corrosion. I will remove this rust/corrosion from the bedbar with a wire brush and then spray the bedbar with Fluid Film. Upon contact you can immediately see Fluid Film attacking this rust/corrosion. Before installing a new bedknife, I will spray Fluid Film on both the bedknife and bedbar which provides a protective coating.

So I’m looking for some penetrating oil to loosen up rusted bolts and nuts. I have tried just about every product out there with varying degrees of success. Some work but are real nasty to use and dangerous to the environment. Others work so-so and some don’t work at all. I came across a product that I have never heard of so I thought that I would give it a try. It’s called Fluid Film: Rust & Corrosion Preventive Penetrate & Lubricant. Now that’s a mouthful!

The can of Fluid Film is labeled “Environmentally Friendly” and “No Solvents” So I am wondering just how this stuff is supposed to work. We all know that most anti rust products will rip a few layers of skin from your hands so I am even more surprised when I read that this stuff is a “Wool Based formulation”. Now I started thinking what was derived from wool. Yea you guessed it.

But how does it work? I sprayed some on an old rusty pair of scissors and this stuff started bubbling! It smelled good and was soft on my hands! Wow the rust actually melted off the metal and the scissors functioned like new. So off I went, dragged out a pistol that had been used hard and put away wet; I sprayed Fluid Film on it and BAM! Not only did the dirt and powder residue bubble off the metal; it actually cleaned the copper fowling out of the barrel without using a wire bore brush. Now this stuff is going into my hunting pack and another can in my tackle box and my truck and boat toolbox. It’s not often that you come across something that works better than advertised; but Fluid Film fits that niche.

I just used some on a new baseball glove and it was instant break-in. Nice. So I tried it on an old worn glove and it restored the suppleness to the leather. This stuff has a very faint pine scent so should not scare off deer or moose when used on boots or firearms.

PS: It feels like lanolin. The same stuff that is used as healing salve on cows utters for milking and fancy smansy hand lotions. (Ever felt a Milkmaids hands?)

I have used Fluid Film to quiet a noisy automatic garage door. It is so quiet now after spraying all moving parts that it is amazing. My son also had a very noisy garage door that he used other lubricants on which never lasted very long before the squeaks returned. Fluid film is now on both doors for almost two years and they are both still quiet. My paper shredder was squeaking at the cutting assembly, after using Fluid Film the squeaks are now gone. Great Product!!

I bought your product in the spray can after discovering it at a local hardware store several years ago. Recently, I found out, to my horror, that the right rear door sill of my 96 Saturn SL2 had a rust hole in the space frame. After visiting the Eureka website, I decided to buy a bulk can of Fluid Film and apply it to the underside of my car. After I had the rust on the door sill repaired, the body shop owner told me that he could see signs of further rusting deeper in the door sill channel, so I had my garage blast some Fluid Film into the channels on both sides of the car. As these channels are not exposed to the elements, I am counting on one application doing for the remaining life of the car, and I'm fairly confident Fluid Film will halt any further corrosion. I plan on having the underside of the car sprayed yearly, however, as they use plenty of salt on the roads here in winter. I also tried it on an old leather recliner, which was covered in dust. It does an amazing job of first cleaning the leather, and then leaving a real nice shine on it. Unfortunately, the shine gets duller after a day or so, but the leather seems more supple than before. I have a beaten up pair of casual shoes, and applying the spray product to them really brought them back to life as well. The bottom line is this is a great product!

I can't believe the staying power of Fluid Film on exposed metal. It was even still glossy after several days of incliment, rainy weather on the lift frame of my snowplow and suspension of my truck, seeming to penetrate through some of the rusted metal to the solid below. It has been a month now since I applied it, and it's going strong! The silicone spray I used previously would have been completely gone and I had to be careful not to get it on the paint, well not anymore. Also being a musician, a quick spray on the hinges, bearings, and cams of my drum hardware has provided the best feel they've ever had, plus the dull squeek I have been chasing for months is finally gone! In short, Fluid Film has already outlasted the protective lubricants I have used in the past, and provided better lubrication where I have applied it. This stuff is Great!

Thanks for this opportunity to write a few words about your amazing product, Fluid Film, or as we tell our customers, "Miracle Film". Since our discovery of your product in 2004, it has replaced every other rust preventative, lubricant, and penetrate in our shop. We use Fluid Film as part of our regular maintenance program for our fleet of 35 electric buggies and 30+ beach cruiser bicycles. It has proven to be a superior product in our coastal "salt/sand/sun" environment here in Port "A". In addition, local customers use it on their boats, bikes and in their homes. We even have repeat "Winter Texan" customers who bought the product last winter and have returned to purchase multiple cans for use on their RV's. As we have often stated: "If Eureka would add a nice cinnamon flavor to Fluid Film, we feel sure we could brush our teeth with it as well....(just kidding!!).

It's rare that a store owner feels entirely comfortable unconditionally recommending a product to customers, however, Fluid Films proven effectiveness and environmental friendliness is just such a product.

I recently had to replace the leaf springs on a used boat trailer I purchased due to severe corrosion. Leaf springs cannot be coated with any success due to flexing. I resarched various products to protect the bare steel leaf springs and chose Fluid Film. After a year the springs still look like new after many immersions in salt water.

When I replace the seals in our house tap valve stems I apply Fluid Film to lubricate (enhance smooth and easy operation) and protect these devices.

I have used Fluid Film in my business for the last six years. I buy it by the gallon and put it in my paint sprayer. It will make a mower look like new. Also I stock the 11 3/4oz spray can to sell to my customers. When they come to pickup their mowers I hear "IS THAT MY MOWER!!" "IT LOOKS LIKE NEW" "IT DIDN'T LOOK THAT GOOD THE DAY I BOUGHT IT"

I want to thank Fluid Film for making a product that has helped in making my business grow.

- Lonnie Sedge - Lonnies Small Engine Repair, Collegedale TN

Being a small engine repair shop in Canada, I have many uses for this great product. Fluid film is used extensively on snowblowers. Every snowblower that is sold or serviced that leaves our shop is coated with fluid film. The augers and chutes are coated to prevent rust and we have found that the snow does not stick on the areas that Fluid film has been applied. Even in the middle of our harsh Canadian winters, Fluid film enables us to service our customers that one step better then our competition. Thanks Fluid film for the advantage that you have given us. Of course there are a number of other uses that we have found for this product, but our favourite is in the winter. Thanks again for making such a great product.

I use it exclusively on all of my guns to prevent rust. I had one that had gotten saltwater on it and I was not able to clean it right away due to a medical emergency. A few weeks later I was aghast at the rust. I sprayed the whole gun with the Fluid Film and a couple days later I opened the Case to find not a single speck of rust. I will not use any other product on my guns to prevent rust as well as protect them from moisture.

- David Wylie - Customer

First thing I noticed with fluid film was how much it reacted with the general gunk that bike chains, gears, derailleur, etc. tend to pick up. It started fizzing and foaming on contact. Next thing I noticed was my rear derailleur that's been giving me fits when shifting into higher gears with a delay between moving the lever and when the derailleur finally shifted started working much better.

My chain also had some links that were stiff: After applying fluid film those worked themselves loose within a few minutes of riding.

At the price per can of fluid film you just can't beat it. Sure you could spend 20 bucks on a 1.5 oz squirt bottle of paraffin oil that would do just as good but not go nearly as far.

My advice: Buy a small can and try it for yourself. As for other nice things about it: You could spray a small amount in to a jar and soak small moving parts in it to free them up. Also unlike some spray lubes its smell isn't unpleasant at all. It has a sort of fruity smell to it. I just don't see how you can go wrong with this stuff. It works great on bikes and anything else as well.

Recently I had the opportunity to test out a "new" product. FluidFilm claims hundreds of uses as a lubricant and rust inhibitor, being in the landscaping/snow plow business, (plus a home owner) I had plenty of applications in mind. I put it on my trailer's gate hinges and the unpainted inside 2x4 stake pockets. I sprayed it in the cylinder of my trailer's tongue lock. I sprayed the underside of my 48" mower deck and all the heads of my shovels, rakes, and pick-axes. I even sprayed it on the squeaky storm door to my house. Well, it has been about 3 weeks now, 2 of which we have had non-stop rain and fog, and FluidFilm PASSES the tests with FLYING COLORS, GRADE A+! My screen door has no squeaks, the lock doesn't stick, the gate goes up and down almost too easily, the mower deck which was rusted and when wet would really build up with grass, now clumps very little and what does stick just falls off without hardly a scrape. What is even more amazing is how FluidFilm can really coat steel. My 2x4 stake pockets have weep holes at the bottom and in a weeks time the FluidFilm had even coated the outside bottom 1" of the pockets. Truly a great product.

- Roald Hughes - Owner, Green Mountain Landscape

After cleaning the underside of my mower decks in the spring, I always spray the entire surface with a very wet coat of Fluid Film. I wipe the surface lightly to make sure it is all covered and to prevent dripping when I turn the deck over. This process keeps the deck clean for several months, which of course enables the blades to give the proper lift and cutting. I consider Fluid Film to be a very good product.

- Lou Kopp - Customer

I have to say I am just shocked how well this worked.

- Neal Veen - Customer

We have been using fluid film in our shop and we sell it at our retail store also. One technician in particular, who is a little of a doubting-thomas type guy, had a very tight nut on a mower deck. He was unable to break the nut with an air gun, however after an application of fluid film, and 15 minutes of time, the nut came off. We use the product on all metal-to-metal contact points on new equipment set ups. It has some 'body' to it that holds longer than other products. Keep up the good work.

Hi, my name is Josh and I work with Van-A-Do inc. out of Pendleton Indiana. We have been in business going on 25 years now. About a year ago a salesman from the eureka fluid film company visited our shop and wanted us to try their product. At first we thought it was a gimmick, but the first time we sprayed fluid film on a rusted out bolt on one of our snow plows and seen it immediately start to bubble up, it was hard to believe. Just after a few minutes we were able to loosen the bolt with ease. Its totally amazing how this product works! Now we use it everyday with:

Trailer hitches, inside receiver and on tongue to help prevent rust along with hitch balls, and on wiring to prevent corrosion.

Snow plows, on all hinges, springs, cylinders, bolts to prevent rust. and on connections to prevent corrosion, and on battery terminals.

Trailers, we have dump trailers with hoists, we spray each hoist to prevent rust from braking seals on the cylinders. we spray all light connections to prevent corrosion.

Along with prevention, it serves as a great "knock er loose" on all automotive and house hold products. We don't trust any of the others out on the market. Fluid Film is here to stay, such a great product!!

- Josh - Van-A-Do inc.

I recently heard about and decided to try Fluid Film after hearing of its rust preventive application from an automotive forum. At this time, Fluid Film is better known in other industries, but that didn't stop me from giving it a shot. I used this product on my daily driver with over 220k miles. The first thing I noted was that it doesn't dry out after application. That is, you spray it on and it stays wet. Spray it on nuts and bolts, under the engine and your battery terminals. Come back later--still wet=still protecting. I also have used it in the deck lid and the trunk under rubber plugs, in the spare tire well, and to treat recent quarter panel rust repair from the inside. I gave a few quick squirts to the lock cyclinders to prevent freezing later this year. Also, I gave it a shot between the rocker panels and side mouldings where rust is prevelant on my type of car. So far so good. I'll be getting more to treat the metal on the rear wheel well arches and I should be able to say I see no rust forming after this winter.

Being a long time Fluid Film user, I have sprayed it on everything .well almost everything. This week I was building a large redwood trellace. I was using my jig-saw to cut some detail into the rafter tails, and noticed after twenty or so cuts the gear box on the front of my Craftsman jig-saw was VERY hot to the touch. I had forty or so left to cut and was worried I would ruin the saw. Always with a can at the ready, I removed the front metal cover and exposed the gears and reciprocating mechanism. There was some old crusty grease, which I promptly scraped out. Being a sealed gear box, I knew the Fluid Film would stay where it needed to be. I coated everything in there, and squirted a little extra for good measure. I closed up the box and got to work. The saw ran like a kid who just broke Mom's favorite vase. I finished cutting the forty plus boards along with other detail, and the gear box never got hot again. I'm no scientist, but heat = friction.no heat ! = no friction. You make a great product, keep up the good work.

I've tried every spray lubricant and antioxidant on the market and never found one which could 'do it all' until I found Fluid Film.... who knew that goofy glove salesman who talked me into buying it knew what he was talking about? I bought two cans and quickly contacted him and ordered more....I wisely ordered a whole case that time. I'm a landscaper and have a plethora of uses in my business. We treat all of our tools with the product to prevent and cure rust and corrosion...no grass or even our Dallas, TX gumbo clay dirt sticks to our machines or our shovels and our hand tools. Our pruners stay sharp due to no rust and the hinges glide.... sap doesn't even stick when pruning evergreens! Old 'unopened for years' padlocks on old gates no longer need to be cut off...just spray them, watch the bubbles and wait a while...and voila!...they open...be sure to spray the hinges too while you wait on the padlock!! You only have to wait when it's been 10 or more years since it was opened! Metal shelves and metal storage buildings no longer rust away no matter how much humidity, direct water, corrosive chemical spills, etc., attack them.... Fluid Film will coat and protect the metal from further damage from rust. (Be sure to clean up any chemical before applying the Fluid Film). Trailer balls and hitch latches and jacks no longer rust and stick and using it on all of the metal surfaces of the trailer prevents and cures rust... it's absolutely amazing...no matter how much wear and tear, no matter how much dragging and scraping goes on....no matter how much of the paint is scraped off, it protects and coats the metal. Spray the insides of metal tool boxes and you'll be amazed!! Old hydrants and water cut off brackets open and move like they were used every day. Bolts and screws come loose easily despite the fact that I'm a 55 year old female with severe Arthritis!! Rust is a thing of the past in my life....I keep a can near me at all times...there's one in every vehicle...in the kitchen, the bathroom, the storage closet, the garage, the tool shed....I take no chances on running out. I have bought it to give to friends and family as a stocking stuffer in fact! I have used it to restore the color to old painted metal lawn furniture which had faded beyond belief...it's so wonderful and now it shines again. Wrought iron comes back to life. Be careful using it on battery cables...it works too well...if you don't wipe it off carefully after the corrosion is all gone, the terminals and the cables won't make contact and the battery won't work....yes, it did happen!! Remember, a little goes a long way...it works its way into every surface...just give a squirt and give it a teensy bit of time to penetrate....wipe any excess with a paper towel and then use that towel to wipe other surfaces which might benefit. It's great for interiors and outside your vehicle...including under the hood. I was thrilled with what it did for my sun baked dashboards and vinyl upholstery. Use it on your chrome wheels to prevent brake dust from coating them!! Restore moisture to the rubber on bumpers and the molding for door seals and windows....use on bicycles and kids toys too! Warning, once you get started, you can't stop!! I used it on the old creaky springs and hinges on my garage door...worked like a charm...the only glitch is that now it works so well that it won't stay open...I had to install a sliding glass door safety pin so that we can put the pin into the plate on the door frame to hold the door open while we go in and out. Getting bonked on the head is not fun!! The absolute only problem that I consistently have with Fluid Film is that it disappears! I keep a can in my truck at all times and when I'm visiting friends and family, they all seem to have things which need a squirt or two....somehow the can seldom returns itself to it's special place in my truck where it can always be found!! I lose more cans that way....that's why I'm doing the stocking stuffers this year!! Maybe it will help to insure that I'll always have my can when I need it. Thank you so much for supplying me with this wonderful product. I'm totally hooked!! Lindy Rainer--Fluid Film Addict

I use your product every day do not know what I would do with out it.

Indoors: I have made my 40 yr old windows slide with incredible ease, and didn't have to worry about the effects of the smell (mist) on my 6 month old daughter. (Of course I had to prove it too my wife first), I also read that if you cleaned all the grass off the inside lawnmower deck and then coat the bare metal with this stuff that grass will not stick anymore. I couldn't believe it but after every cut I turn it upside down and I am looking at the metallic surface with no grass stuck anywhere. I also have a beach house where the salt air and rain are rusting everything metal, and wooden drawers are always sticking. I have sprayed every friction surface. Wood to wood, wood to metal, plastic to metal, rubber, painted surfaces etc. Everything moves with such less friction now. As a coating it is incredible. I power washed the underneath of my 93' Acura Legend which is showing signs of rust like it should be, then when it dried I coated most everything I could. ! Anything with rust on it started to bubble like peroxide on an infection. You could just see that the Fluid Film was penetrating deep into all the metal surfaces. My professional background has been in Bearings, Power Transmission, Material Handling, and Fluid Power. All technologies of which are deeply dependant on lubrication for proper performance and longevity. I have ordered 3 cases in as many months, spraying anything and everything that has a bearing surface which is any moving surface in contact with another that creates friction. Also, I have covered everything I want to protect from the harsh and moist environments of the Northeast. I have waxed my cars, covered my roof, and brought my old faded "pea green" aluminum siding back to it's original color. You should see the rain just bead off and then flow easily through coated gutters which won't let any leaves/dirt stick, clogging the downspouts. So now I have protected my entire house and both cars from rust, corrosion, and weather deterioration. And permanently! I have lubricated every hinge, track, bearing, air rifle, keyhole, or any surface I want to protect. I even love the smell. It smells like Bubble Gum to me. My wife thinks I am going a little overboard with my excitement for this incredible invention that's been around for 50 years, but she just will never understand. Thank God she likes the smell of it too. Thank You Eureka, Rick Hartunian

Thanks for steering me towards a great product. Ever since receiving the cans of rust and corrosion preventative , everything in the house is quieted down! This stuff works wonders on an old squeaky hinge as well as on my hunting bow. I had my reserves about using it on a piece of hunting equipment so close to the beginning of our deer season, but I sprayed it on a few rusted up cam bolts and within a couple of days the smell of the lanolin was gone, leaving only a silky fine coating of protection. And the best part was it does not smell bad. Seems to me as if you stepped on a few ripe apples !! Then as I said, the smell was gone. I put some down a gun barrel and pulled a cleaning swab through and the barrel of the gun looks like new, like I said leaves behind a silky feeling coating ! I pay big money for hunting and fishing gear and am welcoming this product in my arsenal of rust and corrosion protectants. So all of you gun and hunting enthusiasts get your can now. You won't regret it!

- Mike Browning - Customer

I sprayed it on the paint of my old truck, like I saw in your video, and it made a huge difference. I know this work truck won't be entered in any shows, but it took an old dull paint job and made it shine again. Thanks

- Joe Garcia - Customer

I used it in all my door locks and they are all real smooth now.

I was staying at a vacation home that had a sliding screen door that was sticking so badly I had started avoiding it and walking way out of my way to get outside. Fortunately, there was a can of Fluid Film in the back of my car, so I figured I'd give it a try. After one application to the tracks, the screen was in perfect working rder again. When I got home I sprayed all three of my sliding screen tracks, and I've been looking all around the house for things that might benefit from some Fluid Film. Great stuff!

- R. Dooley - Customer

I just want to tell you how great this stuff is. It works great on the farm, but what they do not tell you, and probably will not, is that it works great on ringworm. I have used it on my live stock and even my kids and it worked wonders. Definitely worth the extra pennies.

- John Willer - Customer

I had gotten a sample can from you and was ready to use it. I wanted to see what this stuff was all about. I have a 1988 Suburban which was getting painted at the time, and subsequently was disassembled. When I got it back from the painter, I went nutty with the product I sprayed everything in site, power door lock components, power window regulators and tracks, inside the bottom of the doors where they typically rust, rear A/C blower motor and leaf springs. I put the truck back together and drove the heck out of it. My results are as follows: A/C blower motor stopped squeaking and still works fine without any reapplication. All four windows glide up and down without any problem or reapplication (no more "helping" the window up by pulling on the glass). Leaf springs didn't creak or squeak for around 8 months and requires re-application. I have to applaud THE FILM and its ability to stay viable. (WD who???).
