Great test, thanks!

The FP10 failed miserably, it looks like, same with the gun butter... haven't used that, is it supposed to be red?

The FP10 piece is a solid gold color, while the others are silver with gold spots on the corroded portions. Am I reading this wrong? If the whole piece turns a different color, that looks to me like a failure...

Didn't really displace the water which is what I would want to use on something if i knew it was going to get wet. But as far as corrosion you would be fine with any grease or oil.


Still need to get to my real tortue test though heat + grease + salt water
