"Excellent penetration even with waxed thread. I've been using the deep penetrating cement for almost 20 years with good results. Thins well with ordinary laquer thinner."

"This cement works well. I got the Deep Pentetrating type. It really soaks in, and does not bead up on the thread surface. Gives a durable finish and hold. Quick drying, but you do have enough working time."
