Methylated spirits?
Thanks for the tip!
I've been using spray can olive oil as a primary lubricant on any alloy I thread on the advice of an engineer friend who said it's his go to lube for alloy and cheaper than commercial options. Plus Coles stock it, I can get it local.
That just reminded me, I have to buy 4 litres of methylated spirits from Bunnings, I'm nearly out.


Kerosene would be good for cutting but Methylated spirits is so much cheaper. Back in the 70s Kerosene was my go to car and motorbike wash, a cupful in a bucket of warm water and it would remove any grime and leave a nice shine on the vehicles. Now I just let the rain do my car washing.....
