Blue battery terminals

Post by barbz »

Hi all,

Is there any easy way of getting the blue sealant off my battery terminals and connections.

Metal file will only get so much off.

Cheers
Paul

not sure what its called exactly but yeh it comes in a can.
you can get it from most auto parts shops etc...
there is also some stuff that comes in a jar that you can apply using a paintbrush.


it doesnt have to be blue either.. the stuff on mine is yellow.

Acetone should do the job, excellent for removing glues also

I think stuff like WD40, carby cleaner etc might get it off. If it's anything like what was on mine WD40 wiped it off.

*or as suggested above, acetone will rip into it nicely.

LOL bit extreme, acetone will do nicely, its a terminal sealant, stops it from oxidising and also growing acid fluff, that white crap you see on bad battery connections. its good to have. iirc its just a silicone battery sealant or terminal sealant.
