What is the best temperature to apply this lubricant and will it damage the finish on the camper if it gets on it? Will appreciate any answers.

Best bet would be to contact Thetford @ 1-800-543-1219. I normally but it on when not too cold or too hot 60-70 F range with no problem.

The highest temp for 60 minutes! You should sweat a lot! Also I use product called sweet sweat to rub on areas first!

Lubricant is provided by the manufacturer. Be aware this piece of equipment is prone to excessive rust. I would not recommend it.

The only time mine was a bit stiff was when I used it in -14F weather outside here in Minnesota. As soon as it warmed up it was smooth again. I do wipe mine down with a shop towel damp with WD40, then followed by a dry rag to remove the oil residue. This is just to keep it clean, not because of issues.

Temp reaches 50 which I believe is 500 degrees. It gets hot enough. Bad thing is paint finish will scrape off easily at high temps. Be warned.

When heated it turns into a oily substance. Cooled back to a soft solid. It was most likely a little melted from the heat of the truck

I usually try to use 20% of the total oil capacity with this lubricant, will not hurt anything! been using this way for over 15 years,

I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals. It comes in a small container and can be purchased at a local hardware store such as ACE. I would apply it with a finger, let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it off. This product may help, but using a rag instead of your finger will spread it around more. I use the silicone grease to coat the seals on the outside compartments to keep them from sticking as well. This is a great seal protector and lubricant, but when used with a rag, it's hard to control where it goes. I do use it on a rag for doing the back side of the seal which is in contact on opening the slide. Hope this was helpful. I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals.

Mine got a little tight, I may have put it away wet and caused some rust. I lubricated it lightly with penetrating oil, worked it in for a while, and now it works as good as new. If you're worried about food safety, you could try the same with mineral oil, but the penetrating oil is thinner and will be easier to get it worked in.

I use on all of my vehicles,( -10° to -40° temps )these: battery wrap, water hose warmer (warm heater air right away), oil pan warmer (magnetic)(crank over right away). I have both gas and diesel vehicles. So it just depends on what u want/need. Warming pad warms top of engine so probably works on battery and some on radiator and water in top of block area, doubt oil (bottom of engine)

I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered... » Read More I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again « Show Less

Its worth a try. I used it on my carb screw stem on my motorcycle....it gets pretty hot and it hasn't unattached. Just work the putty well and clean the surface well also. I sanded the base first to get a clean raw surface.

It recommends the surface be 40 degrees or warmer when installing. If it's not, try warming it up with a hair dryer or heat gun.

I'm no expert... but I applied the foam it at around 70 degrees and it worked ok for me. Towards the end of the job one of the canisters ran out of product before the other....The two components need to mix together to make the foam and to make it harden. If one can runs out before the other, the material coming out of the gun will not gel or make the foam hard and it just runs and drips

Gillermo ... you are 100%, absolutely, positively correct about WD40 ... It's not a lubricant, far from it. We used it to loosen stuck/rusted head bolts on engines. How WD40 ever got the reputation as a lubricant is beyond me. Just wanted to validate your honest answer. Peace. : )

I chose this Lubraplate because I am using it as a general lubricant in moderate temp. If you go to Lubraplate's web page https://www.lubriplate.com/ they explain the differences between their products.

finally head from our designer. Please see response to your question. thanks, Lee CarCoverkingdomHi Lee,Here's an update: We contacted a vendor who manufacturers an RV with a rubber top and he advised that a Polypropylene cover will not react with the rubber top seal. Only issue is that some covers insulate so well, they can increase the temperature of the roof and cause laminate damage. Our covers do allow for ventilation so I think it would be a personal decision on the buyer's part.Let me know if you have any questions or need anything further?MJ finally head from our designer.
