    Good discussion on sealers, I’m definitely learning something new.

    I’ve searched all over, and it looks like the only way to buy the 24163 activator is in the spray can.

    As far as cleaning the surfaces, I’ve gone over them with brake cleaner and a rag. They are pretty clean, but there is some corrosion around the bearings. I imagine I shouldn’t use any abrasive on these surfaces. Anything else I should be doing?

    Thanks,

    Just look toward your favorite industrial supplier. I’ve been using this bottle for 2-3 years and it’s still half full. It’s amazing how little it takes. https://www.mcmaster.com/#loctite-7649/=1anz328 Buy the gallon can and you will have enough to supply the whole world for a long time. 🙂
