is it hydrophobic (beads) or philic (sheets off) , can it be used over factory installed versions of either?

Most of these products are hydrophobic (beads up). This is great for windshield applications where the wind blows these beads off and you can see thru them. The problem with this for exterior window or shower use is if the water has any hardness or soap residual in it, this will dry with the bead leaving the "spotting". However, these products do make the wiping down/cleaning of the surfaces easier and less prone to staining, ideally before the droplets have dried. If one can restore the glass to it's original hydrophilic state where the water sheets down the spotting will be minimized as the water with any hardness / residual is carried down the glass.

My experience with CRL TPC when properly applied to clean surfaces is that the water beads up and rolls off the glass. I don't know why you wouldn't be able to use it on factory installed glass, but to be sure, I would ask the manufacturer. I'm just a happy customer with no water spots on my shower surround!

I'm not sure what you mean by "factory installed versions". CRL TPC is a spray that protects your glass. I have used it for almost 10 years on the inside of our shower door and two more glass sections of the shower. CRL makes the water bead up on the glass and is easier to wipe down. I only use the CRL once a month and then reply the spray again. I love it!

I do not know the answer to your question. I am pleased with the product. About every two months I thoroughly clean my shower door and then reapply the CRL TPC. The water just beads up after showers and dries without spots. Good product.

This would determine exactly what application you were looking to use it for. I'm not a chemist, so I can't speak to it's bonding properties, but this stuff will stick to just about anything. I used it to seal the seams on my aluminum RV. I first removed as much of the old sealant as I could, and then used acetone to clean the surface. It's not that hard to use, but once it makes contact, it's pretty much down for good. You can't lay it down and then pick it back up. It's only been 6 months since I put it down, but we've had a number of heavy rains and there hasn't been any signs of leaking. Not sure how it will do over a wide bead of silicone, but if it's just a narrow bead, you should be fine. This would determine exactly what application you were looking to use it for.

yes, here is the amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Milliard-Anti-Microbial-Removable-Waterproof-Replacement/dp/B00FK9O070/ref=pd_bia_nav_t_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1017YCBJ1C3R2W20WXTE

I'm removing the original paint on a commercial cart, the same one you see at Home depot. The paint is really tough to remove down to metal, looks like I'm using up most of the woven pad. And this is before using hand scraper, needle scaler and hard disk grinder. However Norton is the fastest but most expensive - it's a trade off. Next time I'll try torching the paint off then follow up with a diamond grinder.

I switched one out and I didn't notice a residue, but I did put one right on after I took it off so I can't say 100% for sure that it doesn't leave a slight residue. If it did, I would imagine you could remove it with alcohol on a q tip.

Can be used on anything, so yes, rubber is fine. Yes on shrinking with heat as well. This is actually preferred on the install. The clear bar will last at least 5 years or more. Depends on how you use it of course

Did you clean it with an alcohol solution tissue first?And next... I hope that this does not sound foolish but did you remove the fine cellophane backing sheet? I have three of these in different vehicles, and have not had a problem of adhering even with multi curves in the dash.

I don't recall but not surprised. Goo gone works awesome on adhesive residue as well as a good soak in dawn and water.

I used a spray bottle with maybe 1:25 Meguires car wash and water. Worked fine. Bar was staying together but did get softer the more I worked with it. I imagine it would deteriorate after more use. I was only working with 1/3rd of the claybar material.

The silicone component should always generate a filmy, "slippery" texture feel so long as there is NOT residue build-up (if it stops feeling slippery then it ceases to fulfill its purpose). Some people describe it as a tacky feeling. If you are worried about residual grease, a typical dish detergent should eliminate all residues when washing in hot water. Many people have said that wiping with a dry towel once the Silpat sheet is "dry" also helps eliminate any additional oils. Personally, I store mine between sheets of parchment or butcher paper, and I always wipe them down with a damp cloth before each use.

I just use a damp micro fiber cloth. It works the best without any residue.

Each Permatex gasket adhesive is specific for the function on the label - that said - I use the black most b/c it's a great adhesive as well - I recently did the valve covers on the old Yellow Dog Pickup and it seems to work as well for that app as the specific gasket sealer. I've used the Permatex line for decades - me fave is the black - reading the instructions on the packaging and tube seems to imply the products R for making gaskets rather than sealing or augmenting factory-type gaskets. I've done both. Reckoning what could it hurt added to a replacement gasket. It's a great way to stick a gasket that has a tendency for fall off during installation. ~:0) VivaChas!

This is the kit for that car. On the water pump, the most important thing is getting the surface clean and keeping it flat. To make it flat don't use a roloc disc on the aluminum. Use a razor blade held at a very small angle so as to not gouge the aluminum. If you want to use a sealer, use a gray silicone (hondabond, yamabond, permatex ultra gray, etc) the permatex will be the easiest to find. Any auto parts store should have it (autozone, advance auto parts, pep boys.) Opps, I am not Cleo K. but her son using her laptop which was signed into her account.

Sorry. Don't know. My daughter eventually broke hers and I didn't replace it. The safety bead aspect worked, though, because even when she broke it, no beads came loose.

I just put some water over a sheet I printed and it did not smear or run.....Hope this helps you, Bruce

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.

Dear Steve, Thank you for your inquiry. Please check B00G57M3X4 , it is the ABS material and you could also check B00EXLDEGY , it is stainless steel stick. Both of these are work with seawater, of course, you'd better clean the product after use. Hope this could help you and wish to serve you sir. Happy New Year !!! Sincerely , Wmicro
