They have a 'deal' that includes a gallon can and a pump oiler, I find I always need the aerosol stuff to get it in some crevice .

The neat part is : you don't need to use much, just spray it in and let it soak a while, I like to tap the item to shock it and help it wick in .
Thanks for the link but being on the other side of the world makes ordering stuff like this from the US almost impossible: Couriers won't carry aerosols or "dangerous" liquids. Even getting stuff from the UK to Holland is in practice impossible these days. The concept of moving stuff over water is too much for courier companies. I reckon there's some sort of Tam o Shanter witch thing going on with couriers - its the only logical conclusion to draw...


To top it all off - even if you can find a courier (which would be seriously expensive) - you then get stiffed by the import duties for products outside of the EU. The limit in Holland is anything over 20 euros including the shipping costs then they start applying taxes.


So Kroil isn't going to happen - back to mixing Acetone with ATF eh?
