Dripless shaft seal
Yeah... in Canada they have to write it on the container. You just read it.
Oh that's right... you don't have any down under... it's all imported!

the

| | | | Has any gone to a dripless shaft seal from the drip type. Any
| | | modifications
| | | | need to be made to the shaft or opening or is it pretty
simple.
