Electrox from Bilthamber for me as my garage can be a little damp.

Unfortuantly not, It is spot-weldable.

You can weld through the SAS one as well as using it in cavities and on bare metal. It's much cheaper than the Upol etc alternatives too

I get mine from our local workshop supplies its £14 a can exspensive but good. The screw fix one is hell of a lot cheaper but no good if it can't be welded

Electric from BH is a great product but needs to go over clean metal and is quite expensive, plus p and p. If money were no object it would be my furst primer choice. I have used the Screwfix stuff and found it OK. I also use 182 which you can get a large aerosol delivered from Metalflake for about £5.
