Received my order today of 3 cans of fluid film. After a shipping error on Fedx's part I now have the product that I saw advertised right here on ContinuousWave.
Because of the shipping mishap Kellsports refunded my purchase price. I also received a sincere letter from Bob Smith of Kellssport apologizing. I plan to use the product to protect the power head of my outboard as well as on my lawn mover and snow blower. I will report the results. I highly recommend this vendor. www.kellsportproduct.com

This sounds like good stuff, is anyone using it for other purposes on their Whaler or trailer, in addition to the outboard powerhead? I've been using Boeshield T-9 to keep rust off some of the trailer parts, etc, but it's pretty gummy stuff. Is there a Fluid Film review out there?

I think it's great stuff. I use it to protect any electrical connections, or even circuit boards. Many years ago, I swamped my montauk, and I had a VHF radio get submerged in saltwater for a little while. When I got home after my "adventure", I took the cover off of the radio, rinsed the radio with a hose, let it dry some, then sprayed fluid film all over it. It was a cheap VHF that was not designed for submersion. The radio worked for another year before it gave up the ghost. I spray light sockets, plugs, connections, battery terminals, etc.
It basically seals out oxygen and moisture, so it prevents corrosion.
I use it on my powerhead, as well.
It's sort of sticky, too, so you don't want to spray it on something that you're going to be handling regularly, unless you spray it very lightly.

I have been using it for years whenever I service my customers outboards. My primary use is to lubricate the steering cable and tilt tube. I loosen the cable, put the engine in a hard right turn, and fill the void inside the tilt tube with fluid film. Reattach the cable and run it back and forth a few times to try and saturate the inside of the tilt tube. I perform this procedure several times before reattaching the cable to the engine. This procedure will prevent steering systems from freezing up if performed on an annual basis. Fluid film is GREAT STUFF!

I have been using it for years, it can also be found at most John Deere stores. I use it on electrical connections etc, it is basically sheep lanolin and not a petroleum product. Dave

I concur with all the above comments. I have used it and believe it lasts longer than Boeshield and Corrosion Block. Down side is that it dries tacky and leaves a light tan colored film so I mainly use it on the trailer or under the console/cowling.

Thanks for the responses. I sprayed it on some rust tools and it actual sizzled as it set. Has a pleasant smell compared to oil based solvents. PS this product is solvent free. A bit better for Mother Earth.

I was wondering if I got the bulk product, and thinned it with vegetable oil (as stated on their website) if I could then spray it with a hand-operated spray bottle? I don't now how thick the stuff is, but the bulk buy sounds like a better deal than the aerosol cans..? Please share how you apply this stuff. Thanks.

We use it on everything. Almost everything we do is in saltwater, so Fluidfilm is a great product in these conditions. From tools, to the outboards and everything in between, we use a lot of the product. We have been using Fluidfilm for many years.
