A great corrosion resistant coating

Hi All,

Thought some of you might want to hear about a great product for preventing corrosion on aluminum (and probably lots of other things). It's called Nyalic & was developed by NASA for use in extreme conditions. It is a clear liquid which you paint on and it dries slightly glossy but not really shiny. It lasts for years. My marine store guy recommended it for my black toe rail on my old C&C. It was looking very tired and old. I put one coat on and it made the rail look great & it still looked great 4 years later. My marine store guy did his aluminum gutters on one side of his house & not the other side - he said the painted ones looked like new 10 years later whereas the unpainted ones had oxidized a lot - he said the difference was remarkable.
It's easy to put on with a small foam brush. I'm thinking of buffing my window frames and then putting it on.

Cheers,

Hi Nate,

I bought it from a company in New Westminster BC called Budget marine. I have however seen it recently at Windsor Plywood in Vancouver. Nyalic has a website which I'm sure would point you to dealers.

I notice on the Nyalic website that they claim it resists marine growth. I am thinking next year I'll coat my prop with it to prevent both corrosion and growth.

I'm having trouble getting ahold of this miracle product.

I'd like to put my hands on some before I remount my aluminum toe-rail and portlight frames.

I've tried contacting the nyalic USA folks through their website but no reply after my first try. Second try now underway.

Are some of you finding it locally or online? What sorts of places?

Too Good to be True?

This stuff looks too good to be true, and you know what they say about things that are too good to be true. Has anybody actually used this on fiberglass? Using it under the water line on the running gear sounds like a nice place to start.
