Davies’ Aircraft Boot Anti-Icer 100 will provide a silicone-based film, which will prevent ice from adhering to aircraft wing boots. Prior to application, the surface should be cleaned well with soap and water, followed by complete rinsing with water. If necessary, Isopropyl alcohol can be used for removing any residual soil, followed with additional soap & water, and water rinse. Make sure that surface is completely clean and dry before applying Davies’ Aircraft Boot Anti-Icer 100. The product is easy and economical to apply by wiping on with a cloth or tramp pad. A consistent single layer can be applied with a back and forth motion along the length of the boot. It is highly recommended that the Davies’ Aircraft Boot Anti-Icer 100 be reapplied after a maximum of 50 flight hours. |

One flight so far into ice since applying. I noticed ice collected normally on non-booted areas but looked mushy on the boots. Only in ice for half hour but looked like it was working. The coating was “sticky” for a day or so after applying. Careful don’t touch till dry.
