I found a UK source for the 8oz bottles, but at £45 a pop plus postage, I don't think anyone will bother!

Wow, that's three times the price. At that price I'd have to go back to baby oil. I found that straight Johnson's Baby Oil works pretty well, but it really doesn't smell like a tank. Well, unless it's a baby tank!

By the by, talking about smokers : finally used the ceramic resistors You so graciously sent me...
My. Word... used one to fix the ancient smoker in my (Haya 6.3 controller equipped) Jagdpanzer. ( no separate pump and heater yet. Stuck it in the heater port CN11) It works.. and hòw.. the bloody thing is smoking like there’s coolant ànd oil leaking in the cylinders of that poor Maybach!!
Whole room smells like a maternity ward now. And even outside with a stiff breeze, it’s still vèry visible.
( And no burny/firey smell yet)
I will take the smoker apart after about an hour’s run to see if the kevlar wick is still good, or very burnt. If it’s still in good nick, I think we found the perfect replacement for the sad, sàd little resistor wire HL uses..
