Well, it's permanently attached and I have gone through at least a dozen cans this summer, no detached tubes so far... We use the stuff all over the bikes, from chains each ride, to cleaning plastic. On particularly muddy races we use it on the plastic and metal, particularly the number placards, keeps the mud from sticking so you can be tracked on the course... -- Wafa free again. |

The latest updaye is this. Bought the Plexi (ended up getting UNDER charged for it, and never said anything). Bad Karma..... Went out back, and told them to cut it wrong. 1 piece of plexi down the drain. On the bright side, I can now make a sounding board for our Sax Player with a mic hole cut in it. Better monitoring for him. The Plexi is $295 a sheet for 4x8x.250 |
