I Have A ? About Siliconeing 9 in.Coil

[moose57]

My question is just this. I would like to know what kind of silicone do you all ues and why. I went to lowes today and seen clear silicone in a tube the man there told me
once you put this silicone on it is very hard to take off,which type is the best to use because I would like to protect the 9 in. coil from getting dirt and water in all the cracks.
And do you put it around the outside and inside of coil. Thanks for all of your information...

Permatex ultra black. Best stuff they make and it's black.

I got tired of cleaning out my coil covers. So...Right or wrong, I took all my coils to a truck bedliner shop and had them spray a light coat of the bedliner stuff on the bottom of each coil, (without the cover). I feel it didn't affect the performance of the coil in anyway. That was 2 years ago and they are holding up just fine!!

I don't know if it voids coil warranty using bedliner spray as far as Minelab is concerned or not, but have been told it's ok with Garrett. That's also what I plan to use on my 3khz coil, as mentioned in another post, I was park hunting, did a sand volleyball court, moved to another field and couldn't ground balance until I removed the coil cover and cleaned the sand from the volleyball court out from between the coil and coil cover. A buddy uses the spray on bedliner from auto parts store with good success, just got to be sure it doesn't contain any metallics.
