Keeping hoses from sticking to barbs

[ranger58sb]

Chris, that's too bad about your difficulty with that sewage hose, but I have never had that happen when dealing with the really robust, wire wound exhaust hoses and that ilk. Without the pick, it's a cut-off wheel job being VERY careful to avoid damaging the hardware with the wheel.

Yeah, mostly I was able to cut the hose enough to expose part of the wire, pull out some of that wire, snip, rinse, repeat...

Gak!

That I had to do on my stuff box hose. One wire strand at a time and then cut till the next wire. ALmost forgot about that.

Thanks for that one Diver.

Bendit,
Does NAPA have “Rectorseal #5” ?

Cannot answer this as I am in Auckland, New Zealand and we don’t have NAPA here.
Our local engineering supply shop stocks it.

Alco grease . I use it on most remove items on all my boats. It is made for seawater. A proper fitting hose and clam will not be compromised by sliding on with grease. It’s about $25.00 a tube but it’s a must have .
