    Lanotec grease

    I scored a 20l drum of this off the Bridge gang at work and wondered what it would be like as a rustproofing agent in the chassis.At the moment it is the consistency of putty but the guys tell me when it warms up it becomes more liquid.Thought it might be the ducks nuts due to this as it is constantly setting and thawing as it were, it would be moving thru the chassis constantly.Any ideas on what I could thin it with as well???Whats the consensus??

    What's the plan?

    Get a really big grease gun, bung up all the holes and fill it in?

    Cheers

    you dont thin it but heat it right up and it becomes like a fine oil and then applying it from your degreasing gun becomes feasable.


    its also good as a penetrating agent, smear some on the threads of a stuck componant and then warm it up with a hot air gun and it will wick in towards the heat quite nicely....

    it also works well as a leather dressing and a drizabone dressing.

    I've used lano for some years - great stuff - brilliant for unfreezing outside padlocks and it keeps them well oiled for ages. It's also an excellent hand cleaner, after a day in the Disco engine bay.

    One of the big ag fertiliser makers (Incitec?) has been coating their heavy vehicles (f/e loaders etc) in lano for ages, they swear by it. Think I saw that on Landline a while ago.

    Just think about that programme, there was a 'bushie' test where a 50's ute (no paint left on it) was left in the weather for two years, one side coated in lano, the other side bare. (I think the lano was straight from the sheep). Surface rust on the bare side, but no corrosion on the lano coated side.

    don't the insides of the rails come from the factory hot wax injected ?
    I'm sure my old Land Rover engineer mate told me this over ten years ago.
