Aerosol cutting fluid - anyone using it?

try pledge furniture polish ...you may be pleasantly surprised

all the best.markj

I use wd 40....

f 'oily brown gunge' from Scewfix a

I use 'lard oil' and buy it in 5 litre containers. None of this pongy stuff. A smell of bacon frying! After all, this was what the old boys used way back.

I found some on one of the stalls at the Harrogate show a couple of years back. Seems to work OK. Can't remember which stand it was though.

Tried it for frying yer chips?

Nearest thing from Screwfix but not an aerosol

Works fine, they are no longer blue! Er-uhm? The wooden chips were not much good, they bunged up the planer with the oil. More Er-Uhm?

Works OK on Fry's Metals

Even more Er-uhm

Recall Dr CEM Joad in Brains Trust? It all depends on what you mean by*********

And his mate Prof Jacob Bronowski-- Thank you for humouring me

Even more of the same

sshhh........ you're showing your age, you should have has anyone heard of.....

There's some stuff called CT90 by ActionCan (prepend and append www. and .com respectively) that works nicely. Also, the MCT range by Morris of Shrewsbury is good.

Why do you need a fluid for cutting your aerosol?

ToolStation also sell it in 400ml aerosols for =A32.58ea + =A35 carriage for orders under =A345. Quite possibly the same stuff as Screwfix's because the man who runs ToolStation owned Screwfix before selling out to B&Q.

This question is really where does one get cutting fluids which don't have fancy prices but work exactly the same.

All my cutting fluids and lubricants come from local outlets if large firms who are prepared to sell to dirty people in dirtier overalls 5 litres.for cash.

We have two in Geordieland and I always ask if they have ' the equivalent to **' I have been doing this since the middle 50's without bother.

Simply Yellow Page---- and go and ask! Today, I have no doubt that in this economic climate of big firms going 'arse over tit', they will be even more eager.

Digressing, I went into M&S Money in Newcastle for =A31000 in Euros. I didn't want them but the =A3 is having a whoopsie with the Footsie. I came out with the loot but with =A340's worth of vouchers for the Memsahib.

There's more of the same to come

Happy Days

Norm

Ah, but what will your wife say when she finds out you gave them to the Memsahib??

Tony, That'll be a Fine Howdah-Do.

In Caelum Indicum Primus? Her old man was one of us

A brilliant response, Norm, you've made my day!

Hi all,

Thanks very much for all your useful suggestions and happy banter.

FYI -

are currently offering free express delivery even on orders under £45 so obviously being a tight g*t I have ordered from them.

I was accused of waving my arms like a mad scientist the other day. I admitted to doing a Magnus Pyke, which got the response: "Who?"

I confess to doing a very good- well sort of, Benny Hill in the Italian Job.

1 I have 'done it'

1. I live in a lunatic asylum( well part of it is still one)
2. I know several Matrons- and I am not giving introductions. They are mine------alll mine!

Well, I got it from an engineers' supplier in South London about 20+ years ago (and still got over half of it left). Can't remember their name at this remove, don't even know if they are still around. Sorry.

Suggest you try Yellow Pages or Google.
