Member Contributer Havagan Posted March 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted March 19, 2013 Has anyone ever used this Boeshield T-9 Solvent/Lubricant before? http://www.amazon.com/Boeshield-Corrosion-Protection-Waterproof-Lubrication/dp/B001447PEK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top On a whim I picked up a can and used it to clean/protect all the electrical connections on the bike and exposed bolts. It supposedly coats and inhibits corrosion, is waterproof, etc. etc. etc. I'm kind of curious what the chemist types on here think. http://boeshield.com/boeshield-t9-technical-data/ Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2thdr Posted March 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted March 19, 2013 Sounds like liquid spray wax. But I'm not a chemist...just a dental scientist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer swfarrar Posted March 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted March 19, 2013 I've been using it for years on anything that needs a heavier level of protection than WD-40. It's great stuff and lasts a long time to protect electrical connections or to put a corrosion-proof coating on a nut/bolt assembly. You do have to be judicious about applying it because it creates a thicker coating than a lot of the spray lubricants. The other issue is that the spray can form of it tends to get it all over everything close by and the squeeze bottle applicator makes it hard to get it exactly where you want it. On the whole, though, it's one of my favorite formulations, somewhere between grease and WD-40 with a very long life once it's applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 WD40 stands for Water Displacer, 40th formula. It is meant to dry out ignition systems. It is not advertised as a lubricant(read the can) as a protectant, it evaporates very fast, leaving maybe a trace of some type of solvent. It's great stuff ,but don't expect it to do what it was never designed to do. Just my $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I use Boelube paste and gel for drilling/reaming/machining at home and at work. I'm sure it will coat your connections for some time, but a heavy grease would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
