Fluid Film is a very unique product. Fantastic for coating your fertilizer spreader to prevent rust. Hard to find it......but John Deere dealers have it on their shelves. GREAT on battery terminals!.....and other tough applications.

Fluid Film is everything you WISH other products (like WD40) would be. This stuff "effervesces" when you apply it......and it remains there until you remove it. Kinda expensive (about $10 per can).....but it really performs. Worth a special trip to own a can of this stuff. I coat hydraulic cylinders and leave 'em outside for the winter. Stuff like that......and it WORKS.

Cant say enough good about this product.
 
smsmith - do you hunt at all????

Foggy - I'll have to give the fluid film a shot. Mission accompished - I learned about a product that maybe of use to me.

Looks like I got a good list of places to catch a brew if I am ever in MN as well!!!!!

Copy/paste from that thread, as it explains why I don't do the signature and why I'll be gone for a while. To add 3 that I don't have any kind of affiliation with leather gloves (wear the heck out of them while working in the woods and dealing with deer), Stihl (all they do is work) and Fiskers (sp?) pole and hand saws (they aren't professional, like Silky and they do break too often, but their hand saws cut very easy and their top end pole saw is what I just keep buying every year.

I know that many here appreciate listing affiliations and products in signatures and completely understand why. The only reason I don't is because I fear it'd make me look like a jerk or that I'm just posting to get these companies promotions.
Paid pro staffs for, in no particular order:
Rage
Mathews
Wildlife Research Center
Block
IQ Bowsight
GlenDel Full Rut
Easton
Antler King
Rivers Edge/Leverage Treestands
Reconyx
Heater Body Suit
Hunters Safety Systems
Nocturnal Lighted Nocks
and, to a lesser level, LaCrosse and Scent Lok

I suspect those companies would appreciate it, but I'd have to believe you people would get real sick of it after a while and it'd make me look like I was trying to show off &/or that I was just posting to keep getting those company names out there. So, I just pretty stay away from talking about products all together. When I do, I mention that I pro staff for that company or a competitors in the post. I'm not trying to hide it, just trying not to be any more obnoxious than I naturally am.

Anyway, you all will be free of my ramblings for a while. I'm leaving on a family vacation in the AM, stopping home for a cup of coffee after and then I leave again for long term clients work. So, I won't be around much for quite a while. Figured this thread served as a good excuse to explain why I don't list that and various websites in a signature.
Interesting thread idea. Could be real helpful to some.

I don't mind if you are sponsered by a company as long as you clearly state that fact. Steve was very clear and that is all I can ask for. The ones that upset me are those that are not clear and then push "their" product as being the best. Many of us are not sponsered and those are the ones that really matter. Those are folks that spend their money on the products they use and for someone to stand behind that - then you have something.

That is once we get some folks to put their beer down and out of the "hardware store"! Boys will be boys!!!! Guess you have to have something to do outside of deer season.
