Learnt a great tip for Waxoyl Today
Thought I would pass this on. For those who use waxoyl it can be a thick substance to use, I know that you can put it in a bucket of hot water but even then it is not really a thin flowing liquid, some mix it with white spirit to thin it. However, today I used this tip. Thin it with the bucket of hot water technique, and then pour it into one of those trigger sprays you get with cleaning stuff and as long as the spring on the trigger is not metal then bang it in the microwave for thirty seconds, and the waxoyl become as thin as water and lasts like that for about ten minutes long enough to use the trigger spray to coat axles or anything else with a nice even coat . For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

That's a good tip. I'll try it next time but don't know how I'm going to explain the microwave smelling of waxoyl to the wife. Defender 90XS SW
