As I said in the bolt thread I already had the stuff on hand so it didn't even cost me anything. I like using the original bolts if I can get them to look good and last.

I leave the bolts in the solution a little longer and let them soak in the sealer for a while (hour, overnight) then strain them and let them dry. I have a spray bottle with some of the sealer in it and give them a little sparay after they are dry before installing.

When they are done right they look real nice.
