Make your own! All you need is a suitable oil and a solvent eg acetone. thiun the oil with the solvent and there you go... penetrating oil! The thinned oil will capillary into the finest cracks, then the solvent will evaporate, leaving the oil behind to make future filling, repainting etc impossible... -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
