Subject:      Krill. no *Kroil*!

i'm down to my last few ounces from a one gallon container. Kroil. do a search of Usenet and you'll find it mentioned with some frequency on lists such as rec.tech.steamengines or some such thing. so named because it is an 'oil that creeps'.... Cre-oil.. Kroil or so the urban legend goes.

Kroil is a good penetrating oil. it is not a miracle maker. it is better than Liquid Wench because it is red in color. i like colored oils and greases. i buy Kendall grease because it is blue. but seriously, it is a good product but still must be used with heat, time, and prayer. and i have had several instances where i have had to pay the piper when the fitting snapped, even after employing all the aforementioned. but i haven't tried live sacrifices. yet.

look for the various package 'Deals' they promote where they combine a bunch of their different products for a lump price. and they usually throw in a pump oiler. enjoy the 1950's style testamonials they send with the product but keep a jaundiced eye.

and oh. it smells. strongly. spill a drop on the interior of your van and you'll enjoy its aroma for days. and your spouse will too. :(

-dan or rocko or whoever the heck i am.
