3 in 1 gun (or general purpose) oil.

Hi people,

I am trying to find the above brand oil but in vain. What is more annoying is that in ebay I have found that they sell empty cans...
I was never sure if it was the best oil around, but it's particular smell combined to my long gone youth has always been appealing.
I will open my last can (the previous lasted for about 20 years of careful use) and worry if i will find it again after it's finished (I'm only 67).
Any ideas (about the oil and not the average male life expectancy in Greece) will be appreciated.

Thanks,

George

I can only agree with Alan,

This stuff can be found in practically any hardware store and Branches of Halfords over here and cheap too !!

I don't think there is any life expectancy on it, it lasts forever. (The tin will certainly never go rusty !! ) I am never without a tin in my model box for my R/C Models. This stuff works wonders.

Regards.....Mark.

Hi Alan and Mark,
that's exactly what I was looking for. I'm planning my next trip to London to replenish my stock (well, I like England even without the oil).

Thanks for your kind response,

George
