Where to buy Lancote in UK?

[NealB]

In a recent thread, someone was raving about the protective qualities of lancote.

Does anyone know where to get it in the UK?

Or can I just nick Joscelyn's handcream?

No idea of "Lanocote" sources - but asking this from UK? This is lanolin, wool fat. Guess the UK as such is the source
Lanolin is water emulsifier, handcream may do but it'll be mostly water in emulsion.
You are looking for "Anhydrous lanolin" - dry. This works as water repellent.

As for brand name special mixture - these guys I love: "long term protection for rigging screws and shackles etc - and stops sheep getting wet!" http://www.flints.co.uk/acatalog/Marine_Lanoguard.html

I'm wondering if there's a UK supplier?

OK..found it!

I bought some from my local chemists - some time ago and I seem to remember they had to order it in but might be worth trying?

Actually.....I lied!

Found a source on ebay, but still from U.S.

Clever stuff indeed.

Sounds similar in what it does to the 'magical' ACF-50 corrosion block which is also good for your electrics.

I have been using the ACF-50 spray for electrics and to kill rust on clients cars for the past 3 years - damn good stuff. I have used it on the boat as well of course to protect the electrics and chrome from rusting etc!

If you need Lanolin Grease, I bought this stuff http://www.heritagesteamsupplies.co.uk/Z-Heritage-Steam-Supplies/Woolube-Lanolin-Grease/p-297-1122 .
The supplier is near Fareham.

Try a tub of Baby cream from Boots. I use it underwater on my unpainted prop and it lasts all winter. I think it is Lanolin based.
