    *Ahem*

    I'll see what I can do. Depends upon when the salesman comes in
    next.[1]. You have to understand that it is *very* popular with the
    other engineers. As it is the dog's nads for high temperature fastener
    applications, they think it'll do the trick on their fucking lawnmower.

    I had a sales visit from a different 'lube' company's rep a while back
    who (after he was finished with me) was on his way to make a sales pitch
    to the West Mids Plod. He was going on about such and such being great
    for chains. I had to point out that plod used shafties and he was so
    crestfallen that he hardly flinched when I relieved him of all his
    samples. Mostly stuff with teflon in it. Generally useless for us,
    except for 'front of compressor' and off-engine stuff, because of its
    low temperature capability, but great for penetrating and lubing various
    motorcycle joints.

    He's predictable, but that's to be expected.

    [1]The last one retired. Probably forced out because he wasn't *selling*
    me much.

    I'm just saying that to be on the safe side keep anything with graphite
    in it off aluminium.

    If you never go out in the wet, then it doesn't matter.

    If the copperslip is still there but your exhaust isn't, then yes.

  5. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    I'm coming to the end of a tub of Never-Seeze I blagged some 20 years
    ago. Wonderful stuff - can't find a supplier anywhere.
