I bought a used 5-speed tranny mount from a local orger and he threw in a can of this Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane. It says "Long Lasting Protection - Beauty", "Clear Gloss" on the can. I opened it up and it looked clear and liquidy. I'm not sure if this is intended for filling-in the motor mounts. Has anyone heard of this stuff before??

Thanks.

BTW, this is what the mount looks like right now.

 

isnt minwax purely intended for wood finishes/stains/etc? i could swear i've seen minwax at home depot.

 

Google? http://www.minwax.com/products/protective/

 

OH crap!!! So this won't do any good for this application. Thanks fanaticrockford.

 

If you're gonna do it, do it in layers... let each layer dry first.

And whichever route you choose, clean the surfaces real well, maybe even roughen up the surface to increase surface area. Good luck.

hahaha poly for wood. what was that guy thinking? homedepot motor mounts?

 

He told me that he read of a write-up using something similar to this stuff. Not sure if the write-up is from here or another board. This stuff is thin that I know that ductape won't hold it in w/o seeping thru it.

 

What's wrong w/them? W/the write materials, they come out pretty good. W/some creativity I'm sure something durable and effective can be made for cheap.

unless you have wood paneling either inside or outsine your minwax is pretty usless on a car

 

i just thought of it; minwax max

 

polyurethane sealer for wood is compleatly different than say window urethane (which may work in the mounts). your friend is a compleat moron. i dont see how you could mix them up. they are 2 totally different things.

 

if you're going to fill your mounts yourself, i recommend mcmaster's shore 90a polyurethane

 

I sell that shhhit at home depot. I dont think it'll be good for mounts

i agree i think what you want comes in a tube and home depot does have it

 

Thanks for the input guys! I'll look into the mcmaster's shore 90a polyurethane. Where can I find this stuff?
