Thread: Oil jointing gasket paper for water sealing applications?

Back in the day I seem to recall that it was oil for cork gaskets and kero for paper. Cut up manilla folders always worked well for me

Just a wee tale from the past (where else?)

There was A Brylcreem machine installed at the Adelaide City Baths, 1 shot for a penny.

If you couldn't afford it plus the tram fare home, one sucked the little spout & got a small gobfull & shoved that on your bonce.

Doing this one day when I felt a huge finger & thumb around my lughole while being pulled along towards the door which is a bit hard to disentangle oneself from when one's bonce is busy upside down & sucking madly..

Yep, the Manager type/Lifesaver had spotted my little plan & gave me a stern lecture & booted me out of the front doors.


Ungrateful sod, didn't he realise this juvenile tealeaf had adorned his front steps for years & helped pay his wages?

Obviously not.

They must have gone through hundreds of gallons of the stuff over the years.

Please Note ****.. This is the very first published account of my embarrassing venture & up until now only my family were aware of it & the family joke it became. Now the whole world may know.

Here you go then 4bee .....................

Now, that does sound familiar. Just a thought. He could have done me for nicking a pennyworth of Brylcreem & I could have him done him for Assault with Intent. The intent being he intended to toss me out of the door.

Years ago we did a bodgy job on an AC joint leak. Used chart paper. Surprised me, it worked. That's when I found out Navigators have absolutely no sense of humour.

Maybe it was a very critical portion of his chart showing rocks & stuff which you would have thought "Naaaaahh, he won't want that, it is just rocks?"

Is there any other type?
