What's this then?

Postby loot » Fri Sep 30, 2016 11:15 pm

I bought a tube of Ford sealant for my sump and with it i got this.

I'm not sure what it is? It says primer i assume it is a big wipe cloth is it? Haven't opened it but i thought I'd ask first.

Possibly a tack cloth, to clean the area before applying the sealant :idea: :)

Not a good thing to use if you want the sealant to stick :?

As said. Probably a alcohol based cleaner but may contain an activator of some sort. That's my assumption anyway :D :lol:

Al it is brilliant in fact :-)

Spray it on then wipe it off, repeat as necessary.

It gets rid of grease and finger prints etc.

I've never had a leak. 8)

(Obviously spraying it on then putting sealant on it won't work Lol)
