canross, agree with comments and dilemma re time etc. 19Badger maybe elitist was a poor choice of word. The point I was trying to make, perhaps badly, was having been to a member of a couple of NZDA...

You can only get Lockease by importing it. There is an equivalent local product- can't remember where I got it from but they're a science/tech supplier. Just search colloidal graphite and it should...
