Hi all,
Here's a tip for ya, Especially for those of you who do not live in
Arizona and have to deal with much rain.
I bought a spray can of stuff to coat evap coolers so's that they don't
rust out, called 'submarine Evaporative cooler sealer' by dial.
This stuff resembles tar, only in a spray. It dries completely, and is
not tacky at all. I painted up the outside of a dist.cap with it along
time ago, and it is still in good shape. It does rain here, like maybe
once or twice a year...but I thought I'd like to have a waterproof
dist.cap, and I didn't like the little rubber cover that you can(?) get
for them.
I also painted the inside of a set of fenders with it. It coated them
good. I think it will protect them from dings from small rocks and
protect the metal from rain, gravel, etc..I also sprayed the stuff on
the inside of the battery covers to protect against any acid corrosion
from the battery.
Last night I sprayed some (the last of it) on a pair of aging gauntlet
type riding gloves. They were getting thin on the 'grip' side, so I put
a coat of this stuff on 'em. It didn't eat 'em, so I guess they'll be
o.k.
