A bit lo tech but this used to be common. > Doug, I have a printout of a post from "Don Martin, Fairfield, VT" where he describes the use of bar and chain oil (chainsaw.) Agway and Husquarvarna seem to have similar formulas including things like: High adhesivenes, high oilines, High film Strength, Anti-Rust....Phosphoric acid, oil and parrafin. He uses a 3M Rocker Schutz gun with 50-60 psi, which can atomize the oil for spraying inside doors, etc. I've never been able to find these brands but I'm sure they're out there and at about $5.00/gal this makes $en$e. -- Regards, David Bogle Brooklyn |
