There's some stuff called CT90 by ActionCan (prepend and append www.
and .com respectively) that works nicely. Also, the MCT range by
Morris of Shrewsbury is good.

<Sven> Why do you need a fluid for cutting your aerosol? </Sven>

ToolStation also sell it in 400ml aerosols for =A32.58ea + =A35 carriage
for orders under =A345. Quite possibly the same stuff as Screwfix's
because the man who runs ToolStation owned Screwfix before selling out
to B&Q.

This question is really where does one get cutting fluids which don't
have fancy prices but work exactly the same.

All my cutting fluids and lubricants come from local outlets if large
firms who are prepared to sell to dirty people in dirtier overalls 5
litres.for cash.

We have two in Geordieland and I always ask if they have ' the
equivalent to **'
I have been doing this since the middle 50's without bother.

Simply Yellow Page---- and go and ask! Today, I have no doubt that in
this economic climate of big firms going 'arse over tit', they will
be even more eager.

Digressing, I went into M&S Money in Newcastle for =A31000 in Euros. I
didn't want them but the =A3 is having a whoopsie with the Footsie. I
came out with the loot but with =A340's worth of vouchers for the
Memsahib.

There's more of the same to come

Happy Days

Ah, but what will your wife say when she finds out you gave them to
the Memsahib?? <Grin>
