HOW TO PREVENT GRASS FROM STICKING TO YOUR MOWER DECK WITH SLIP PLATE DRY FILM GRAPHITE LUBRICANT! Recently, I CERAMIC COATED my LAWN MOWER DECK. While this worked well, it only lasted about 1 month or 8-10 mows. A few subscribers mentioned giving SLIP PLATE a try and claimed that it LASTED MUCH LONGER. Watch and see how I APPLY it to my lawn mower deck, plus see how it does mowing TALL, WET GRASS. LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!!!

Here is a link to the SLIP PLATE used in this video! Thanks for supporting the channel! amzn.to/3QM4dW1 LONGEVITY REPORT coming soon… ❗️3rd mow still going strong! EDIT: As of FALL 2022 This mower did 18 mows with 5 soaking wet lawn mows throughout. Clippings began sticking on the last mow and bonding to the deck but a lot of grass came right off with a quick rinse. This product lasted twice as long as a ceramic coating with only one coat. (Keep in mind, your results may vary.) 👍

In the ale 80's I purchased a 1966 Bolens 12HP Hydro with deck, blower, and rototiller. 12HP then is 24 today + -. At the time the best, longest lasting coating was POUR15. I cleaned, sanded the underside of the deck. 3 mows later, the majority of the coating was removed. It really showed the amount of friction that goes on.

I cleaned and applied Slip Plate to my mower deck as indicated in the video. I live in the Northeast. In October we not only get rain but also tons of morning dew. Just cut my lawn and the grass clippings all accumulated on the underside mower deck. I see no difference in using slip slide versus a rustoleum paint. I will say that cleaning the under deck with a hose is easier with the slip plate on the deck but for some reason it still accumulates like it did before when mowing. My mower is a 21” Honda similar to the one in the video.

Used on posts and sliding decks of car hauling equipment for over 30 years. All metal to metal contact will buff itself smooth. Use multiple coats and you can build it up in corners and crevices. Didn't think of the mower deck application until about 20 years ago. All my friends and neighbors have been using mine for years. Everyone has pulled the solid to the top and spilled it just replenish the liquid with mineral spirits and it will rejuvenate a dried up can.

I use slip plate a lot at work. Usually before we use it, we hit up the local hardware store. They shake it for free. Works best to break down those big clumps. Especially as it ages you’ll get a lot more clumping as it dries out. Then we add a little diesel fuel to it to bring back a little moisture.

Do you really find Slip-plate works better than silicone? I just tried slip-plate for the first time...and wish I hadn't. Silicone was a better experience for me, and in Seattle the grass is ALWAYS wet. My mower is designed to store sitting upright on the end where the bag attaches...so its ready to spray with silicone before mowing and adds maybe 15 seconds to overall start time. When I'm done mowing...I put it back to upright position and blow everything off with compressed air (this part takes several minutes, but it looks like a brand new mower when done). Then put away...repeat next mow. Slip-plate was a giant messy hassle to apply...and it seems to work about the same as the silicone, except you don't end up with a brand new looking under deck when you're done...sort of a permanent mess of slip-plate. Now, I get not everyone has an electric mower that pops up on it's end for easy spraying and blowing off...and I might have liked slip-plate on my old gas mowers because getting under the deck much more of a pain.r

I use a similar brush on product called EZ-Slide Graphite Based Coating which I purchase from my local TSC store and looks exactly like that being thick in the bottom of the can before a good stiring. It dries quickly above 70 degrees between coats and can be re-coated every couple hours, I did 3 or 4 coats back at the start of the season in April and it's still working pretty good, but after cutting a much larger acre yard I still have to redirect a strong garden hose spray through the chute at certain areas because grass clippings still wants to cling to places that the wash out port doesn't remove.

You must have the weight of the ENTIRE world on your shoulders then. Takes maybe 30 minutes to do. Have you ever washed a vehicle? If yes, why? Maintaining your equipment well plays a role in its lifespan and prevents excessive wear and tear especially in places that are more vulnerable to failure if not properly maintained. Think of every old house vehicle boat equipment tools etc you’ve seen and thought/said that it had been well taken care of. They all have at least 2 things in common. They’ve been maintained properly including cleaning. This is just part of the “cleaning” part of maintenance and using this makes that a faster and easier process. By doing so, it’s also saving me time giving me more time to use in other places where it’s needed.

The graphite coating works somewhat while mowing, works best when you have a deck wash. From PVC, I made a pipe with 3 places to spray water under the deck when the blades are on. The deck just sheds the grass when being washed. You would be amazed at how abrasive grass is, you will have to recoat during the season if you want to keep the deck slippery, I mow 2 acres. The graphite coating definitely helps mowing wet grass, but you will still have areas where it will buildup, but it won't stick to the metal and washes off easily.

Love your video's specially this one! I have a old Yazoo Kee's 36 inch mower that the grass sticks to the deck very very bad. It mows on average 8-10 lawns a day. I am going to really clean the deck underneath very very good and then apply 3 coats of rust oleum metal protective primer 8 oz can and then 3 coats of rust oleum protective enamel gloss black 8 oz can. But for the 3rd coat I will add Just enough slip plate to the rest of the 8 oz can of paint to be able to apply the 3rd coat of the black paint. I am thinking by adding this to the paint it will give it excellent adhering properties to the other 2 coats of paint. Then will apply a couple good coats of just slip plate to finish it up. I know this sounds like a lot of work but it should hold up hopefully a whole season and less build up underneath.

I have a small lawn business and I tried this on one push mower and my Toro riding mower. Works great for places that don't receive a lot of grass rammed into it and keeps rust down. Anywhere like on the bottom ends of the mower where grass is pushed up against hard, it doesn't last long. Like a week or two. The cost of the product and what is does, I think it might be better to use an anti-rust for rust concerns. For keeping the grass from clogging the mower it's not worth the cost now. Still a good idea, but you need to reapply rather frequency.

I live in Northwest Ct where the ground is very moist. The grass is ALWAYS clumping inside and around the chute and on the grass (24HP Husky). The spring time needs mowing every 4 days to stay ahead. I also have a cabin in Granville NY. The ground there is dry, shale stone. I can mow 12/16 inch tall grass and nothing underneath. Come back the next day, hit again and it's gone. Scattered in the wind.

I've been considering an EGO electric mower but they warn to not use water to clean under the deck (and never cut wet grass). Based on how my current TORO Super Recycler gets loaded with stuck on clippings after each mow that requires both manual removal of the big chunks and a follow-up wash with a hose (hose port standard on deck), I can't see how I'd be able to keep the deck of that EGO clean. IF this stuff works really well, it could be the answer I'd need. However, after one short mowing session in this video I'm not that impressed. I can do that well with my TORO if I just spray some vegetable oil under the deck before starting to mow. How long does this last between applications, and will doing multiple coats improve the result?

I used to buy the cheap throw away mowers from Walmart. I would cut the grass and stick the mower back in the shed. After one season, the mower deck started rusting through like a car from before the 1980s. Now I cut my grass when it's dry and bag it, not mulch. Now I have a Husqvarna that is 9 years old and a mower with the craftsman name on it that is 4 years old. Neither have that thick mat of grass that holds moisture that causes rust and I don't have to scrape it off scratching the paint off in the process.

The amount of time and frustration is painful when having to clean under the deck, sometimes, multiple times during a single mow (my loan is thick and attracts to the mower like a magnet). I will definitely use this product. To aid in wear as you describe, what about (1) multiple coatings (someone below mentioned this) and/or (2) abrading with a low grit-count (like 60-80 grit) the surface prior to application? Abrading creates a much higher surface area but would need to be coated properly to smooth over the abrasion with Slip Plate; may need multiple applications. The abrasion allows the application to adhere strongly because of a stronger mechanical bond to the surface.

@GarageGear 7 місяців тому

Multiple coats would probably be fine. Go for it!

3 years ago I bought a used commercial mower 60" deck (to save time mowing). Under the deck is rusty and slightly pitted. I apply a product annually called "Corrosion Free". It's a gel that I paint under the deck. After the gel soaks in the surface rust, it leaves a slick coat. So after I mow, I prop up the deck and scrape the grass with a putty knife. Then I spray WD-40 under the deck (takes maybe extra 5 minutes after each mow). I like these products, because some good movers would probably rust out before they stop running. Not sure if I will use Slip Plate, because there is 20% paint left under the deck, the rest is surface rust. But I can make it last a long time now with a little care. Saving some $$$. Also, I can't flip my mower up like a push mower, Slip plate does look like a messy application.

Tried it out on a non rainy day, with the grass still damp. AMAZING result! Even took off the dried crud from the last time I mowed (a few months ago due to incessant rain). Fortunately the lawn was covered in leaves and didn't allow the grass to grow during the freezing cold. Anyway, I'm going to stick with the easier SPRAY method. Maybe I'll sharpen the blades too.

@@Parabola_PJ thanks Pete you’re an awesome fan! Thanks for sharing this as well! amzn.to/3C4lUM9 here is a link to why looks to be a decent grease gun! It’s got a locking mechanism on the nozzle which is nice so it stays in place. Should do the job for ya! 👍

Hi man is t fantastic can I ask u ples. Wich model ur mower is Honda. Is it good for business lawn mowing. Thanks. Adam lawnmowing

Hey Sydney! The Honda mower model is HRN216VKA. I would say this is a better home owner model than a commercial one! There are a share of plastic components that would possibly not hold up with excessive use. Thanks for watching!

Liberal lawmakers have heard that the slip plate works well on mower decks and now they are trying to ban it in the u.s.,because Biden admin don't like it...

I coated all of the wife's skillets. Works great! PS... I'm kidding.

Lol! It has many uses! 🤷‍♂️😂

Graphite also comes in aerosol form. Different brand. I've used it successfully for years in some pretty tough conditions.

Good to know! Thanks for sharing Joel!

Like you, my next thought was the snowblower, haven't tried it... yet!

@GarageGear Рік тому

It’s worth a shot! Thanks for watching Pat!

@WillsSmallEngines Рік тому

I'm definitely going to have to try this because my lawn boy mower ( made by toro) has a issue with grass sticking to the deck.

@GarageGear Рік тому

Give it a whirl and let me know how it works for you! I barely used any from the can so one can will last a while! Thanks for watching another Will! 👍

$84.00 a gallon is way to high priced. Spray cans do not work well according to most reviews ONLY Have 1 21 inch mower 1 2 stage snow blower.Way to much to have the remaining paint sit around.

The price has really short up on this stuff

Top tip if you coat yourself in it you don’t have to shower all summer. Make sure your spotless beforehand though.

@ThomEbersole Рік тому

Are there any retail stores that sell this by the can? I can't find it online anywhere except the Slip Plate website, but I don't need six cans. I'm thinking some hardware store should carry it, but the big box websites don't show it. Any help please?

@GarageGear Рік тому

Hey Thomas! I did find a quart of this available on eBay! They are temporarily sold out on the amazon link below. Thanks for watching!
