I'll bite.  It says you can't even wash it off your hands and its made to be used under water.  I'm hoping that means it will no emulsify.

I thought I would try some purchasing from the link provided by Lee. The $20.00 shipping swayed me not to.

I clicked on the 35lb option for $247 and shipping appears to be free. That would be a little over $7 per 16 0z.
Maybe someone could get it going and send out 16 0z to 35 members in a ziplock...no, I'm not the guy, I'm happy with what i've been using. .

I found this site searching for this grease. It says Aqua Shield is a new name for Aqua Grease that has been around.

~$26 shipped for a 1lb rube isn't bad.

No experience in using it here sorry mate

MSDS describes it as a Lithium soap base with a mineral oil lubricant (and no doubt with corrosion inhibitor additives and tackifiers) which puts it in the same category as many other 'general' marine lubricants (I dont know how they justify such a high price given that!).

My experiences with Lithium base marine greases is they will emulsify over time.

I'd pay that to ship any sized rube

Do not know how long they have it in use. But already seen in a new reel i had four weeks ago for first service.
The German general importer send a sample. My first impression - throw it away.... but after some tests i`m convinced and bought a tube (30EUR, crazy.....)
Due to the gummy viscosity not recommended to apply with paint brush, easier to apply direct out of the tube.
I tested it on pinions and main gears in spinners and overheads. The positiv effect is it reduces gear noise much better than normal grease. A two year old Shimano 6000SW-B cranked hundert percent silent, and the noise in some older Daiwa spinners was reduced by 30-50pct (from feeling).
But its very important to clean the parts from any oil or grease. Otherwise it will not stick on the metal!!!

No worry, its easy to wip it off with a cloth from skin. (self tested)

Some more tests with different reels will follow during next weeks

My problem is emulsified grease from the main gear and pinion riding down the spool shaft and getting in the bearings of light casting reels.  I want the grease to stay put and not contaminate everything.
