Stop corrosion with Fowler's first-rate sealant (9)
I believe the answer is:
frustrate
'stop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for frustrate that I've seen before include "Prevent from progressing" , "Prevent (plan) from being fulfilled" , "Thwart or baffle" , "'Thwart, disappoint (9)'" , "Put a stop to" .)
