It is however very sticky and has the consistency of honey, so you need lots of rags.

They do seem to last amazingly well for galvanized, but perhaps we've just been lucky to always encounter them in low corrosive environments?Lee Cujeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299605594628708238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064672588559529982.post-80531608688974707142013-11-29T09:48:15.164+11:002013-11-29T09:48:15.164+11:00The French ring bolts mentioned in the text are ma...The French ring bolts mentioned in the text are manufactured specifically for FFME and distributed to their equippers. <br />I purchased some in Paris 20 years ago and placed them back home in Scotland.
