FLUID FILM: POWERFUL PROTECTION

The Automed device is used in harsh environments and works well with both cold starts and very hot weather. In addition, we have found that Fluid Film continues working and doesn’t wash off easily, even when it comes into contact with water, grease and other liquids.

Because the Automed device is used on livestock it’s vital we use a lubrication product that is naturally occurring. Other products have petroleum in their makeup, but Fluid Film is based on lanolin, meaning it can safely come into contact with livestock

When using it at the range I notice that the whole entire action works and flows really well. One problem that can occur with some actions is they can get dry at the front of the bolt after constant firing due to the gun going off and the heat that is released.

I also used it in my barrel as a lubricant to stop fouling (before use I cleaned the barrel). During the subsequent firing I found the bolt action was extremely smooth, and it also made the first few shots a lot quieter.

The other area I used Fluid Film was on the shells I use and reload. After I had reloaded them I covered them with the lubricant and after an hour or so wiped it off. This worked really well as it stopped all the carbon from the gun powder from sticking onto the shell.

One thing I would point out is that if used in a gun barrel - and repeatedly used - it will help decrease the wear factor and by rights if the gun is looked after you should increase the life of the barrel. Just as an example the barrels we use for target shooting we can get between 4000 to 6000 rounds through it. But if you can use a lubricant that imbeds into the metal you should be able to get another thousand rounds out of it. With what I have already seen, this shows to be possible.

There were also some rust issues that we cleaned up and fixed. We then applied Fluid Film to those areas and the rust hasn’t come back at all.

We also used it on our son’s wake board boat, which had been making a lot of noise because the prop shaft was dry. My husband squirted the Fluid Film into the prop shaft and now there’s no noise!
