 Hank,no, love the stuff, I spray padlocks with it all the time!I put a whole lot of different plastics in a jar of WD40 one time,some deteriorated instantaneously & others over a short time.Brian could soak a few golf balls in it first; however not all golf ballsare the same! Also they might last a month but not a year & theywill be sitting in it permanently. Alan

Brian,Alan has a point, you might want to put a fixed plastic sleeve over the shaft if the balls can come in contact with a spinning shat.  Wait, isn't your shaft spinning inside the axel housing?  if so should work like a charm.   Alan just hates WD40 lol. Hank

 Hank,   Just normal operating pressure,  Golf balls  -  that's a frick'n genius idea !     Alan,   inside my motor pod the only moving part is the prop shaft so I don't see any problem with the golf balls getting chewed up.  I can get 600 golf balls for around $150  !!  Brian

Brian,What do you consider tremendous pressure?  Test one to be sure, but you can probably get used range balls for cheap.Hank

 Hank,    Will the golf balls take tremendous amount of pressure?   Have you used them before?   I suppose they would be resistant to wd40, hmmm  ...    Sounds like a winner !  Brian

Brian,Yes you can buy macro spheres alone, but I am not sure how well they survive with constant movement.    If you don't want to use hard wood chunks then use golf balls.  Hank

 Hank,  Is it possible to just only buy the Micro spheres?   I was thinking of putting just the micro spheres in my motor pod to reduce the volume of oil I have to use. Brian

Just came across this pressure test picture with the Nuytco emblem on the door.  Anyways I am looking for some syntactic foam rated for 3,000 feet.  I don't need it until next winter.  I just want to throw it out there because as a group we come across a lot of interesting stuff.  I need 550 lb buoyancy and new stuff will cost me 10K Canadian.  Scott is thinking I am a lucky bugger  to only spend that amount ;-)   Any leads would be appreciated.Hank
