Wb123 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I use the Chinese peacock knockoffs and run them on panel wipe. A 5 litre drum is about £15 and will last till you die or leave the lid off and it all evaporates. New catalysts are cheap if imported from China.

It’s used in car body work as a final degreaser to remove fingerprints etc before spraying, and is essentially naptha, you find it in five litre or bigger containers in autofactors. I think Halfords do it in much smaller containers but for almost the same price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30-6 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Discobob, old saying is don't knock what you haven't tried. Used to think I hated cabbage as a kid, mother said try it, now I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battery ignition, hot, and you can reverse them to stop them burning fuel when you're done. Good shout. Mine arrived from Korea today. What a good piece of kit this looks to be.

powler Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Thinking of spending some xmas money on a pair of hand warmers for the back of my gloves, as yesterday morning the cold was hurting my knuckles, the Boston ones look good but maybe a bit big for going inside of my gloves so looking at the zippo 6hr ones.
