[TowerTalk] Prelube 19 ?

[Robert Harmon]

Hi Dan,
I received this response from Grignard Company to my question of whether Prelube 19 is more 
effective than Prelube 6 in preventing rust and extending the life of galvanized wire rope used in antenna towers.
(I am not familiar with the Strancore he refers too, I'll have to check it out)


"Yes PreLube 19 would work better however it does skin which could be a
problem with telescoping poles. 
Strancore is the best product for this application. About 20 x the protection
of prelube 6 and does not skin."
