    Yes. Love the stuff. My only gripe is with the lid, total crap; make sure the threads are spotless before putting the cap back on..

    The product itself is first rate. Available in most places, even Bunnies.

    Bunnings Fyswick have two types of packaging... screw lids and a plastic pop up one I buy the latter, I heard that they were not going to stock it any more. The ones on the shelf are very dusty suggesting that it has been in stock for a while. If it is not be bought in any more what will we do??

    Make our own? I remember having seen a recipe or two around.. but can't remember where at present. The recipe was for the oil-base WOP though.

    Yeah, I posted a recipe a good while ago, borrowed from the Blue Mountains woodturners website IIRC.

    From memory: turps or white spirit, linseed oil and poly.

    Yeah, here 'tis:
