Thread: Lanox vs Inox

I've never used Lanox, but have used Inox on my outboard motor and fishing gear, it is a clear liquid that coats with a fine film.
I imagine Lanox with lanolin would put a thicker gooey coating.

Inox will dry off over time. I don't know if Lanox does. Inox doesn't seem to do anything nasty to rubber, at least not that I've noticed.

Lanox works fine but then again I know heaps of people who use Inox on guns to keep rust away so it must work.

I "think" Lanox is more durable (less likely to wash away etc)

I have both. Lanox is thicker and I use it on metal bits on by kayak and pedal drive. Inox I use for the electrical connectors. Even after some significant drenchings in salt water all the treated pins/contacts are nice and shiny.

As said :
Inox for electrical.
Lanox for the rest including fishing gear. Inox gives off a scent fish can smell, Lanox does not.

inox is a favourite here

the only time i use inox is when i need a penetrating oil..... the rest of the time i use lanotec

the fish in WA must have very sensitive noses or the fish on the east coast either haver blocked noses.
It never bothered the quality fish we catch. even when we have bananas on board
