Let me know what you find out please Peter.

yeah that looks good, one going to order some lanotec but this one looks much better, people keep saying they use oil but never specified what type of oil, although i am sure most oils would keep the rust from taking hold.
thanks guys, will try to find somewhere that sells G15

Spray, Aerosol, Rust Inhibiting, Ferro Pak G15, 400gms - The Wood Works Book & Tool Co.

only an aerosol but the only other option is the 20L so i guess its what we are looking for.

I have used G15 which I bought from Chris Vesper at the WW Show.

Here's the manufacturers website.

Not sure they'd post it as it comes under dangerous goods but thanks Rcam.

Correct, it can't be posted because it is in an aerosol can.
Chris Vesper sells it in Melbourne
I sell it in NSW, at TWWW shows, TTTG workshops etc.

Take care and Stay Sharp,

I sent Aust Inhibitor an email asking about stockists a while ago and got no reply.

I have myself battled rush for a long time but if you leave them in the back of your truck" don't know if the box is in the weather " but you will have to check them every couple of days.
My dad told me and this is what I have been doing for some time, get some mutton fat from the bucher and but it in a pot with a little bit of water and cook it untill most of the fat has melted and has become a liquid, get some card board spice containers and fill them with the liquid.
After it has gone hard and as you rub the container over your hand saw and what ever you want the card board will wear away and nothing that has the fat on it will have any rust.
Hope this helps

Iv'e been using INOX on my hand planes as they rusted up last week

I sprayed by jack plane a few days ago and let it be. Tonight I went into the garage and the sole had rusted up again. Has anybody else had the same problem with INOX?
I'm going to buy some G15 this weekend.

In Sydney you can buy G15 from Acme Case in Marrickville Contact Us - Acme Case Co Pty Ltd.

I am not associated with them in any way but know that they stock it
