Guest 305240 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 When I was reading the posts on the wiper motors, and other electrical connections corroding, I just remembered something. Keep in mind, this old brain still works, but a lot more slowly than it used to. Back in the Viet Nam war, I used to be a crew chief on the Phantom F-4's. We had to use a spray electrical sealer on every wiring connection. The Can was OD green of course, but the paint scraped off very easily. Low and behold, underneath the OD green paint was a can of cheap aquanet hair spray! I checked more than one can...Same thing...Aquanet. I crewed a Bird for 4 years over there, No corrosion of any kind after using the stuff. I've used it on my cars also. It's nice to know that if you hit a big water puddle your engine isn't dying out on you. Hope this helps someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Aquanet? Sounds kind of funky. I used that stuff way back when I used to make potato launchers. Now I'm going to have to check out what's in Aquanet next time I'm at the store. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 305240 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 All I know is that it works. I spray it on my dizzy and plugs, all my wire connections and terminals. Including the alt. I used it on my 5th wheel gang plug. Any place where I need a good clear sealer. Hey, I figure if the USAF uses it on multi million dollar aircraft, why can't I use it on my car?

Sparky Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 cant you use that stuff as a release agent when doing composite stuff? A guy at the local composite store told me that but I just couldnt bring myself to believe him. maybe he was right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
