When I used to rebuild engines back in my younger days back in Wisconsin, I was always battling flash rust. Wish this stuff had been around back then. Thanks for the informative video.

[@HTMR]

Cool, where in WI?

[@macmcmillen6282]

@@HTMR Appleton, WI. About 100 miles north of Milwaukee. You know where that is?

[@HTMR]

@@macmcmillen6282 Yes, was there about a year ago attending a motorcycle auction. Came home empty handed. My parents have a place in the Dells.

[@macmcmillen6282]

@@HTMR Very cool. I've taken many a motorcycle trip to the Dells area (when I lived in the Midwest).

Hi mate, I'm going to do some wet blasting soon and in order to stop flash rusting I'm looking at purchasing some Holdtight 102. I take it that you can paint straight over the 102 once it dries?

[@TheMotorcycleMD]

Nice video man! Would you consider the surface after using that stuff ready for paint or a tank coating once it dries? Or would you still do some sort of acetone wash.

[@HTMR]

They state "typically not". For tank sealing I would do a acetone wash real quick.

[@navigator9905]

​@@HTMRacetone before sealing is good?

[@scottwhite2379]

If you ever do a re-edit of this video it might be better to just dip the part halfway in the solution

[@CraftwerksMC]

I have read that a Borax solution is also a good solution for preventing flash rust but have not been able to determine the mix ratio nor have I had time to experiment with it.

[@notchbackgta]

Thanks for the review. What's the tray on your engine stand? I've been looking for a tray for mine

[@HTMR]

The tub underneath? Concrete mixing tub with bar magnet holding it to stand LOL.

[@notchbackgta]

@@HTMR I hadn't considered that!

[@HTMR]

@@notchbackgta Under $10 and works great. HF mag bar.

[@warren6172]

Do any of the fuel additives prevent tank rust for older 4 stroke bikes?

[@HTMR]

Keep the fuel fresh and tank full.

[@bobwhelk2117]

Is it okay to get 102 on bare hands?

[@HTMR]

I don't know. Check out the MSDS.

[@Tresoroeffnung]

anyone know what chemical is in the holdtight 102 solution?

[@echoactual1776]

Water (70-80%), Hydroxyethyl (20-30%), Propanediol (1-2%), Diethylenimide Oxide (1-2%), Nitrilotriethanol Acetate (1-2%)

[@Jerguu]

Hey your website is down

[@HTMR]

Works for me.

[@Jerguu]

@@HTMR Awesome, working now! Definitely looking at getting this stuff and I'll make sure to buy via your link.

[@David-wy9jl]

Phosphoric acid does the same thing.

[@notchbackgta]

PA works a lot different though

[@Dr.Jekyll]

@@notchbackgta Whats your point? You’ve contributed nothing useful. If he has phosphoric acid, why should he not use that and buy this overpriced product instead? “A lot different” does not mean better or even as good as. Do you really not know this?

[@notchbackgta]

@@Dr.Jekyll PA is acid and etches the surface. "IT'S A LOT DIFFERENT THOUGH". This clown saying PA did the same thing is a clown and NOT helpful. He doesn't even understand the difference 🤦 and it seems neither do you
