I purchased 3 x 400ml aerosol cans of 'oily brown gunge' from Scewfix a couple of years ago at quite a reasonable price (about £3.60) but I now find that they no longer stock it.Farnell have 2 or 3 available at far greater cost or a carton of a dozen is available at many distibutors.I found it to be very good to in getting the stuff to the right place without getting gallons of smelly stuff everywhere.Anyone know of a source at a reasonable price and without an £8.95 delivery charge?Thanks, Paul

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that a 50/50 mixture of paraffin and neatsfoot oil works wonders. Has anybody ever used this?

No idea where one would get neatsfoot oil - local chemist maybe? Or maybe a saddlers?
