The test strips that I treated was dipped, not sprayed. I subjected the test strips to a natural gas flame, totally engulfing it, for about 30 seconds. The test strip never flashed or smoked. So far, I am very impressed.
The previous ,and til now only review of this product gave it zero out of five and was essentially a paragraph length whinge-a-thon about the fact that the product is massively corrosive to metals of all kinds including painted, coated, anodized, whatever. A characteristic that is explicitly stated in the description above, and presumably equally so, if not More so, in the documentation that comes with the
Absolutely do not use this product on anything made out of aluminum. If you don’t like your airplane use it. They lie when they say it is not corrosive after it dries. If it gets moisture of any kind in the airplane it will absolutely destroy anything aluminum that it comes in contact with. The time and money spent to stop the corrosion on the floor of my airplane is ridiculous. The product was absolutely dry, was allowed to dry for over a week. It was not in the airplane for three months before I started to see the powder coming out from under the carpet. It took me days to remove the corrosion and prime the floor to stop it. Nowhere does it say that if it’s moistened again it WILL DESTROY YOUR AIRPLANE!!!!!????
Not recommended! The manufacturer is not kidding when they warn that this stuff is corrosive, it will literally destroy any metal it comes into contact with, wet or dry, including painted, coated or plated surfaces. A little undetected overspray from one light application was all it took for serious damage to occur to seat frames and metal zippers in less than a year. Never again!

Per the vendor, it is not likely that it would work but they have not tested it.
