[QUOTE="G Lap, post: 230884, member: 6268"] I sent a question to Thompson's, asking if their product was corrosive to aluminum . . . here is the response that I got. [b][i]Thank you for contacting Thompson's. We appreciate your inquiry. Our products are not considered to be corrosive, however we do not test for application on metal surfaces. If the Aluminum has been painted or the finish oxidized it will be very difficult to remove any over-spray without effecting the aluminum. Our products are not really designed for marine type of applications. While the product will not necessarily be submerged, it will be subjected to a higher amount of moisture. I would recommend checking with your local boating and marine store for a finish they would recommend. Our Parent company, Sherwin-Williams manufactures a variety of coatings, including marine grade finishes that would meet your needs. You may want to contact them for a product. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions[/i].[/b] Thought some of you would be interested in reading it . . . [/QUOTE]
