I recently came across these:

On the face of it, the advantages are attractive; same corrosion protection, same adhesion promotion claims as Bonderite M-CR 1201 (aka “Alodine”), terrific ease of use and no chromium, meaning they are safe for me and the environment.
There are disadvantages, mainly that overcoating within 15 minutes is called for. It’s not clear if that means only paint. I wonder whether the air channels in vinyl adhesive would cause a problem
However I am sceptical. If it was possible to have the same corrosion protection and adhesion promotion as Bonderite M-CR 1201 without all of the grave dangers of that material then why is that stuff still on the market.
I am hoping that someone more expert than me can compare and contrast the two products in a way that makes sense to homebuilders.
For context, I intend to wrap directly over the treated metal, as Wirejock has done. I have 3 quarts of Bonderite M-CR 1201 ordered and en route and I have worked out how I will use it. However I would like to know what the ‘brains trust’ think of this wipes option.
