Questions & Answers

It states that it is non-toxic, however, there is also a mention of Teflon as an Can we assume that the substance contained perfluorinated chemicals/PFOAs?

This would seem to be the case The product isn't the best but I am not super excited about it There was a problem with my spokes repeatedly. Before installing, ensure that you apply the pre-application and allow it to dry completely.

Once the application is made, how long does it take for it to dry?

While I left it to dry overnight, I had to reapply to a couple of areas and let them sit There is quite a bit of thickness to it. Overnight seems a little long to me, so I would recommend cutting it down to half an hour next time.

Selected User Reviews For ZÜMWAX Spoke Dope Thread Prep

This particular spoke prepping works just as well as others we have seen
4/5

The two are very similar. One is a line for the drive side and the other is a light threadlocker for the non-drive side There is a pretty close color match so it's not so easy to tell which side is which, so keep track of where the spokes go so you don't make a big mistake later.

That's good to know
5/5

In assembling the wheels, I used a spoke prep for the first time, and it seems to help lubricate the spoke threads and facilitate threading in the nut. In addition to easy identification of left and right spokes, the color coding also helped facilitate finding a part of the machine. Is the grease or lubricant comparable to ordinary lubricant? It's hard to say.

It's good to see you again
4/5

It seems to be a good idea. The product seems to dry well and seems to be fairly decent, but I haven't really tested it. Several sets of wheels can be done with this amount.

I expected it to work
5/5

While this would be convenient, it would be even more useful if colors were not so similar.
