    God l thought you would have used it Reggie. Maybe it's a bit OTT. But in another way l think be good idea for inside of a lot of farm machinery.

    The landrover lads use it a lot.

    Reggie or others. Have any of ye used waxoyl before?

    Take for example box section steel in a guntering project. You can sandblast and paint outside but sure inside has no protection.


    Yeah it works very well . its filthy stuff to work with though.

    3mm wall will see most of us out without rusting through. I used lighter stuff to make a head gate in a calving box almost 30 years ago, outside of it was painted, it's still hanging anyway. I hear that waxoyl stuff is good for the MF 600 series cabs alright. Never used it though.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Rust needs oxygen to grow, if box is welded right and sealed it can't get either moisture or air in. That's basically how paint works isn't it, seals out air and moisture.

    Used it on some new machinery. (Live beside the sea salt air)
    Got a 500 Honda 4/5 years ago and took wheels off and sprayed with clear Waxoil. Engine frame rims the whole shebang. Service garage always comments that she looks like new.
    If it can't be galvanised about here it's waxoiled.

    Clean what ever ur doing 100% then let dry completely.
    I only do it on a scorching day and might even heat machine with space heater, I would have the gallon tin of Waxoil in hot water which I keep heating. Then i spray on with a schutzs gun and leave to dry a bit before putting back together. When it's totally dry it's like candle wax.

    If I am spraying on machines at end of year I mis it with 30% gives a greasy finish to machines lasts better than just spraying on oil.

    Good man. Did u ever spray it inside the frames of machines? From googling l think there's a long nozzle u can fit to the shutz gun to spray inside. But the waxoyl has to be thinned down l think.

    I have a nozzle for it somewhere but never used it.
    It was a length of semi flexible pipe with a brass end and 4 holes out the sides of brass end so it would spray out in all sideways directions

    What's the difference between shutz and waxoyl. Have used shutz before on the undercarriage of the trailers. I have to do a bit of light rust removal under the cab and part of the chassis of an Isuzu NQR when the weather improves. Was going to use shutz but would waxoyl be a better long term option. Also what does it cost.

    Shutz often used under wheel arches, and painted on larger areas. Waxol designed for cavities, and inside chassis and the like. It is supposed to flow or "creep" into crevices etc. If you ever had a Mark 2 VW Golf or Jetta, they were doused in the stuff in the door cavities and inside the boot panels.

    For some reason, JCB recommended Waxol as a "grease" on the extending/sliding back dipper of the 3cx diggers.

    We find it good for the boom of the teleporter. Leave it on the range and just pour/brush it on. Think we got it out of eci the first time when they recommended it.

    Don't know anything about aldi discs but I get all super thin discs. Never use normal thickness now. Super fast for cutting then change to proper thick grinding disc if you need to grind something.
    I get my discs from eBay.co.UK (.ie version useless) get 100 115mm discs for £40.

    Was watching Shed and Buried on cable there earlier. Sam mentioned another product, I thought he called it " anchor wax" during a restoration and said it came from marine industry. Henry thought he was taking the pixx too but after googling it,turns out there is such a product as Ankor Wax!
    I had a chuckle at that as reminded me of a pub in Acton Town where we used to have a few jars in olden days ...called the Blue Anchor and many's the laugh that name got.:D

    Yes tried these for the first time recently. They look harmless but a great job l found. Two hands on the grinder job though and a good pair of welding gloves.

    Bought them from Proweld (Colm Steel) in Athlone.

    The thin disc and good battery grinder and you will rarely bother to plug in the ordinary electric grinder even in the workshop. So handy

    Did a great bit of guntering yesterday. Flexi rubber pipe between the turbo and intercooler split in the girlfriends car and it had no power and covering the road in smoke. One roll of insulating tape later and it was back to normal. Will keep it going for a couple of days until I get a new one.

    Anyone see or thinking of buying the Demolition Breaker in Aldi tomorrow for 150 euro ?
    Wonder would it be any good and would it take standard chisels etc.
    It's just anytime I hire out a Hilti from local tool hire is 50 euro a pop for any sort of job so this would be good value of its any good.
    Have they been in before and anyone buy ?

    If you are often hiring one for €50 I'd say go for the Aldi one. Save the hassle/time of going to the hire shop too. Keep the receipt for the 3 year warranty.

    Bought one 8 years ago for my brother who was doing a lot of work on my late Uncle's house & farm. It lasted until last year when he gave it to a neighbour to break a hole into the chimney breast of an old house and he burned it out.
    They are not a Hilti but will do the same job as long as you don't overwork them.

    Anyone out there on how to pull a submersible pump up 340 ft? Ive tried pulling it up with the rope using the jeep and and 2 pulleys but there's serious strain on the rope. The pipe is 1" hg alkathene with a few non return valves fitted every 100ft I think so there's some serious weight to be lifted. Pump is running but no water reaching top of the well.
