Did you try it in the end then?

I have used Waxoyl for donkeys years but I like the idea of this. I assume I can use my Waxoyl injector which I use off my compressor with the stuff.
Just how likely is it to get onto glass, I never get any overspray on glass normally with Waxoyl so why would L/oil be any different?

just bought 5 litres off ebay, cover the body in old dust sheets, should keep it clean.

Did the front end of the chassis after scraping off breaking up underseal. Still looks good.

I'll be doing it complete end to end when I get her back in the workshop this week

Perfect , linseed oil it is then, thanks BB.
Ive done a quick google and there isn't really anything bad being said about it.

Boiled and thinned to aid drying else you'll end up with everything stuck to it.

Salt/road grime/bicycles.....

There is double boiled 2.5L for about £18 on the bay.........is double boiled any quicker drying or what?
Then there is 5L for 20 notes.

I find with Waxoyl there is always run off..............will it be a problem with this stuff..............like when I do door cavities?

Dunno about double boiled, I'm no expert. I just did the front where the underseal was peeling badly and squirted some inside.

Yes they'll be run off. I laid down bits of old carpet but it's a lot less messy than waxoyl. The last time I tried that stuff I might as well jumped in a bath of it

Its not actually boiled, it used to be many many years ago like in Edwardian times or before, from what I gather they added lead or some sort to the oil but it had to be very hot to create a reaction, nowadays with modern what nots there is no need to boil it.
So ''double boiled'' sounds a bit of bollecks to me.

Maybe you could boil it yourself in an old pan if you wanted, I've heated paint in the same way before to make it more usable to paint a van with a roller.

I think it's more to do with additives to aid drying.

nobber · Aug 21, 2016

Lead oxide was a colour pigment, jappan black was a drying agent they used, you don't want to be heating that in a pan.

You should try snake oil

Used chain oil is even better!
On a side note, I bought some 4 stroke mower oil today ( probably 5/30 ), £1 for 1L. Tetrosyl branded, reduced at B&M cheapskate stores.

Instead of faffing around with waxoyl, any cheap oil recommendations?

Someone on here swears by Linseed oil have a search.

nobber · Aug 22, 2016

So how dya go about getting this into the chassis if you don't have a compressor?

christi1 · Aug 22, 2016

electric or pressure spray, length of home brew siphoning tube, some fettling and fiddling, lots of swearing and determination..

I've tried catching used chain oil. Its a dodgy business and typing is now slower than what it was.

Old agricultural knapsack sprayer works for me.

Should have mentioned it is a two person job. The missus/mother in law would be ideal as a catcher.
