Works as advertised; used on mower deck
Saw a YouTube tip. Really great stuff. Works as advertised.Dries fast, didn't come off yet. Put it on my new EGO mower. Nothing sticks inside even on rainy days. Had to buy a gallon when only needed half, but they were sold out of those half-sizes.

Easy To Apply - Stir Slowly - Test Results To Come *** UPDATED
*** UPDATE ***I've mowed a couple of times with good success. But today is a whole different story. After 10 days of rainy weather and lots of clouds, I decided today was a good day to really TEST how well this stuff works. I mowed a half acre lot that was about 10 inches deep with weeds and long grass. I did so about 9:00 in the morning and with a ton of dew on the grass. Easily, if I walked through the grass, i would have wet shoe and pants up to my knees.With the mulch door closed, the mower NEVER bogged down. I went from half to full speed and it just cut with easy. I had a good feeling for sure and was laughing a lot. When it was over, I pulled the mower up on the ramps and tooks some photos. To demonstrate the clumping... I took images of the front top side of the deck and you can see how much the grass was clinging on. Not under the deck though. I can not belive that the deck looked so clean.I am sold. At the end of the season, I'll remove the deck, wash it up cleanly... paint on a new layer of Slip Plate... and laugh all the way to the bank. This is awesome stuff. Because of our climate, there are times that you can't say "just don't mow when it is wet".... you don't always get that chance and you just have to mow. I am one happy guy about this... I think you will be as well.*** First Impression ***I ordered this to use as an undercoating for my mower deck. My lifestyle dictates that I mow when I can. So sometimes it is damp or more commonly, the grass is about 3" longer than it needs to be and the water held in the base of the grass makes it .... wet. The end result is that the underside of the deck nearly always collects large amounts of grass. Cleaning it out with a hose is very messy and it means dragging out the ramps, the hose, and in the end... I just don't do it.Now that I've purchased a new mower, I decided to coat the bottom with this stuff and see how well it holds up and hopefully prevents grass from sticking to the underside of the deck. I'll run the test for the next 3 months and update this review if I see if difference. Here are a couple of Before and After photos of the coating process.FYI. I mowed twice with the deck not coated. It was washed using the washout port and using a spray nozzel by hand after each mow. When I decided to try the undercoating, I gave the deck a full cleaning with soap and such. It is worth noting that the underside took me about an hour to clean.... even after washing it each of the two times I mowed. That stuff sticks to this deck like mad.... So we shall see....

prep is important.
i use this product with fairly good results. first clean deck down to the finish/metal. wipe with acetone. then take an orbital sander with 100 grit sandpaper and really sand it well to remove all the gloss. blow it off with air. then wipe and check for leftover gloss. sand more if needed. make sure you sand everything. even by hand around all areas not reached by sander. again wipe thoroughly with acetone. make sure you don't apply it in the hot sun. do it in a shaded areas and wait until the sun has set low. even do it in a shop, or outside with a work light so it doesn't dry so fast. i use a 4 inch roller with small pan and a 4inch brush. keep it mixed constantly or it will separate. i put on 3 light coats and let dry 20 minutes between using a fan. mine has lasted 3 yrs. but where the blade tips throw dirt and sand it will wear off. auto primer won't help. its the abrasives that blast it like sandblasting. the real way to stop grass sticking would be to rubber coat the deck. rubber gloves are used in bead blasters and don't wear through which is what they should coat mower decks with. grass, sand, dirt and small rocks would bounce off but those manufacturers won't do it. i considered line x which is a rubber coating. i have heard of people doing it but it is expensive.

It's working so far
It's working so far. I will see how it looks at the end of mowing season.

Mucho Grass ee Us
I painted the bottom of my mower deck and went through the part of my yard that would constantly clog the deck with grass and was absolutely amazed how little stuck to the deck. I made sure that I power washed the underside and I took a wire brush on a drill to take off any loose paint before I painted it on. Very little came off or even scratched after several hours of mowing. I am really impressed. 1 important note! If you buy this, make SURE that you stir it well as the ingredients settle on the bottom of the can. It took a good 10 minutes of stirring before I felt it was mixed enough to use. I would also recommend gloves or a can of mineral spirits to clean your hands after you are done. A drop cloth or some cardboard are also handy unless you want to cover the floor of your workspace at the same time. (Especially while stirring the paint)

Read description carefully before purchasing.
Read description carefully. Product is only a thin film. The paint vehicle can easily be wiped off after drying and the thin film of graphite is not durable and must be applied often. Any dampness causes grass to cake under the mower deck and must be cleaned off very often. Amazon is a quality company but this product does not meet expectations.

Absolutely amazing product
I had tried almost everything for stopping the grass clippings from Sticking to the deck of my Simplicity Regent. As you know they have those rollers on the back. When I cut grass (I have always mulched my clippings) The grass collects under the deck as you probably Know. Especially when you use a mulch mower. So when it gets too much for under the deck it lets clippings drop and as a result they collect on the rollers and after a while the rollers get too picked and then I end up with big roller clumps to deal with. I tried everything I could think of, Cutting more often, spraying silicone underneath everything with minimal results. Then miracle of miracles I found your product. It has made my life more tolerable. Thank you so much for coming up with this product.

DID NOT WORK
I really wanted this product to work. I followed the directions and actually put two coats on both my push mower and my zero turn lawn mower. The result was terrible. It did not keep the grass from sticking at all. The paint came off on certain areas after i mowed one time. I wish I couod get a refund and return the rest of the gallon back to you
