Rust Protection after drilling holes

lanolin is good too,as long as what he uses doesnt stink him out of the cab like some rust proofings do

Lanolin - it's the most water-resistant grease you can get. Sheep have proven that for millions of years.

whale oil is the go if you have any.very hard to locate.

I agree with Mike, Lanolin, I never seen a rusty sheep

Glen,
Is that the right sight, I can't get to it.

Yes sorry it has only one "L" in the middle

Sfletch,
I am drilling holes so I can bolt things down - I have applied silicon to holes before doing this before but was wandering if was a better option.

Richard

doesn't it stick to your jocks?

Bonz,
I suspect you were the only one brave enough to comment, but many would have thought it.

:)

Richa

hahahahaha well I will never die wondering thats for sure

RobA,
Any brand names for me to check out,

When you say let dry you mean let dry before putting in screws/bolts.?

Thanks for the reply,
Richard

Richard no real preference on brands. Cold dip galv paint is available from most places that support metal repairs and maintenance etc and all the good ones are about the same. The thread has mentioned cheap vs better and we support that for sure.

In regard to drying, yep let the paint dry out before putting the bolts/screws in so you don't end up taking the paint off in that process. Patience is a virtue in this instance, which is why I tend to use the galv as it remains pliable and I tend to just drop the bolts into the holes and get on with it.

Another option is to use some of the liquid plastic coatings available on the market and just seal over the whole thing but that comes with its own risks and issues, such as what happens if you want to take the bolt off?

We tend to plan our fitouts and use slightly different methods depending on where the bolts/through body penetration is being done
