[QUOTE="TheWolf, post: 805720, member: 12996"] The last time I did the Amsoil MPHD undercoating, I pulled all the tape off the rockers and used the straw nozzle to coat the inside of the rockers. I really loaded them up good, spraying in every directing in each hole. After letting it dry for a week, I then put foil HVAC tape back on to cover the holes. It seems to be sticking fine. I considered using a stronger tape like Vycor, but thought it would be better to use a tape that is somewhat removable so that I can coat the insides with MPHD every fall. Even with the holes taped up, moisture is still going to get in there so the having them coated on the inside will protect against rusting.
